You are ordering a meal and have $15 to spend on. The restaurant charges 6% sales tax and you plan to leave a 15% tip. The equat

ion c= x+0.06x+0.15x gives the total cost c of your meal, where x is the cost before tax and tip. What is the maximum amount you can spend before tax and tip?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The maximum amount you can spend before tax and tip is:

                    $ 12.397

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

x represents the cost before tax and tip.

Also, we have a total of $ 15 to spend on.

The equation which represents the total cost of our meal is given by:

            c= x+0.06x+0.15x

This means that:

c\leq 15\\\\i.e.\\\\x+0.06x+0.15x\leq 15\\\\1.21x\leq 15\\\\x\leq \dfrac{15}{1.21}\\\\x\leq 12.397

The answer is: $ 12.397

Just solve the equation, x + 0.15x + 0.06x = 15
1.21x = 15,
x = $12.39 (nearly)

Assume that there are an equal number of births in each month so that the probability is that a person chosen at random was born
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a birthday in May, or they do not. The probability of a person having a birthday in May is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a person being in May:

May has 31 days in a year of 365. So

p = \frac{31}{365} = 0.0849

Group of 20 friends:

This means that n = 20

What is the probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays?

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.0849)^{2}.(0.9151)^{18} = 0.2773

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays
