Answer:

52.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

Suppose the meal starts out as x.

She pays 5% of x as a sales tax

So that brings the total up to 100% + 5% = 105%

Before paying, she pays 20% on x as her tip. The tax does not touch the tip.

So that brings the total up to 100% + 5% + 20% = 125% of this is based on x, the cost of the meal.

So 125% of x = 65.50                          change the % to a fraction

125/100 * x = 65.50                             Multiply both sides by 100/125  

125/100 * 100/125x = 100/125 * 65.50

x = 100/125 * 65.50                             Multiply by 100

x = 6550 / 125                                     Divide by 125

Check

Tax = 5% * 52.40 = 5/100 * 52.40 = 2.62

Tip = 20%*52.40 = 20/100 * 52.40=10.48

Meal =                                               52.40

Total                                                  65.50  Just as it should

Julli [10]

The mean is the unit of center that may be used to predict how many strokes will be needed to complete the ninth hole.

The data is almost symmetrical, making the mean the best option.

What is symmetrical data?

  • Asymmetric communications refers to any system where, when averaged over time, the data speed or amount is different in one direction from the other.
  • Asymmetry is defined as the lack of precise similarity between two pieces.
  • A fiddler crab's body is asymmetrical, as evidenced by the fact that one of its claws is larger than the other.
  • Absence of a standard unit of measurement between two things or amounts; incomprehensibility.

So the more about symmetrical visit.

Which inequality is graphed on the coordinate plane?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A: y < -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to figure out which part of the graph to be looking at, you will look at the shaded region as the solution area.

So, the solution area is to the left of the line. Said line is a dotted line which means that the points on the line can not be a solution.

If the points on the line can not be a solution then it eliminates answer choices C and D because y can not equal the other side of the inequality.

Now, we will bring the shaded region back into focus to find out if y is greater than or less than the other side. The shaded area is "below" the line so it is less than -2x - 1.

To ensure this is correct, plug two points into the inequality we just chose, one from the shaded region and one not, just to make sure the answer is correct.

I picked (-3,4) to test. So plug them into the inequality to get:

4 < -2 (-3) - 1

So 4 < 6 - 1 which is correct.

Then from the other side of the line I picked (5,2)

2 < -2 (5) - 1

2 < -10 - 1

2 < -11 is not true so the inequality that we found was correct.
