Solve the inequality. 5(a – 5) > 25 a < 30 a > 30 a > 5 a > 10

1 answer:

7 0

Divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to give an answer of a - 5 > 5. Group all the variables and constants to opposite sides of the inequality. For this given,
a > 5 + 5
which simplifies into a > 10. Thus, the answer is the fourth choice.

Javier and his friends go out to eat. The restaurant they chose automatically adds a 15% gratuity to their food bill since they

siniylev [52]

well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.

now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"? the 100%.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 213.90&115\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{213.9}{x}=\cfrac{115}{100}\implies 21390=115x \\\\\\ \cfrac{21390}{115}=x\implies 186=x$

so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.

but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.

now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 186&100\\ 47.90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{186}{47.90}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 186x=4790 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4790}{186}\implies x\approx \stackrel{\%}{25.75}$
