<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)

If 80% of M is equal to 50% of N and N≠0, what is N/M equal to?
erastova [34]
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

thus, what is 80% of M, well is just (80/100) * M,

what is 50% of N?  well is just (50/100) * N.

we know they're both equal, thus

\bf \cfrac{80}{100}M=\cfrac{50}{100}N\implies \cfrac{8M}{10}=\cfrac{5N}{10}\implies \cfrac{4M}{5}=\cfrac{N}{2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{4\cdot 2}{5}=\cfrac{N}{M}\implies \cfrac{8}{5}=\cfrac{N}{M}

1) What is 15\50 in lowest terms
zaharov [31]
15/50 simplified would be 3/10 (divided by 5 on each side)
5/9 x 3/10 would be 15/90 or 1/6
1/4 divided by 3/5 would be 5/12, because when you divide fractions you flip the second fraction Ex: 1/4 divided by 3/5 would be 1/4 x 5/3
The prime factorization of 120 would be 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 or 2^3 x 3 x 5
