Quick Answer: 7 dollars each
Comment
The key word is of. It means multiply. So the equation is set us as
20% of 175 =
20/100 * 175 =
0.2 * 175 = 35

So each of them will contribute 1/5 of that amount.

Tip
Tip = 1/5 * 35
Tip = 0.2 * 35
Tip = 7 dollars each.

20% of $175 is $35. Divided between 5 people (35/5=7) would be 7. So each person should tip $7.

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money, in dollars, in a savings account after x years is given by $M(x) = 10000(1.03)^{x}$

This above equation represents that $10000 becomes M(x) after x years at a rate of interest 3% compounded in each year.

Therefore, the value in the expression 1.03 represents that there is a 3 percent increase in the savings account each year.

So, the correct option is B. (Answer)
