Answer:

58.25

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the total cost of the meal, fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.

First, find the cost of the meal, which is forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents.

To calculate the amount of the sales tax, use the proportion, amount of sales tax divided by cost of meal equals sales tax rate divided by one hundred.

Substitute the known values. Amount of sales tax divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals four point five divided by one hundred.

Cross multiply. One hundred times amount of the sales tax equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times four point five.

Divide both sides by one hundred to find that the sales tax equals two dollars and nineteen cents.

Then, to calculate the amount of the tip, use the proportion, amount of tip divided by cost of meal equals tip percent rate divided by one hundred.

Again, substitute the known values into the proportion, amount of tip divided by forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents equals fifteen divided by one hundred.

Then, cross multiply. One hundred times amount of tip equals forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents times fifteen.

And, divide both sides by one hundred to find that the tip equals seven dollars and thirty-one cents.

Finally, add the amounts together to find the total cost of the meal was fifty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents.

Answer:

B)  1 < x < 13

Step-by-step explanation:

use triangle inequality theorem which states that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side

let x = third side

6 + 7 > x;    x < 13

6 + x > 7;    x > 1

x + 7 > 6;   x > -1

there will always be one inequality which produces a negative value which you can exclude from your answer because a length cannot be negative
