The total cost of the meal is $30.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of meal = $24.62

Tax = 6%

Tax amount = 6% of cost of meal

$Tax\ amount=\frac{6}{100}*24.62\\Tax\ amount=\frac{147.72}{100}\\Tax\ amount=\$1.48$

Cost after sales tax = 24.62+1.48 = $26.10

Tip = 15%

Tip amount = 15% of cost after sales tax

$Tip\ amount=\frac{15}{100}*26.10\\\\Tip\ amount=\frac{391.5}{100}\\Tip\ amount=\$3.92$

Total cost of meal = Cost after sales tax + Tip amount

Total cost of meal = 26.10+3.92 = $30.02

The total cost of the meal is $30.02

The diameter of Circle Q terminates on the circumference of the circle at (3,0) and (3,-7) . Write the equation of the circle in

Deffense [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of a circle with 2 end points of a di diameter is the midpoint of the two endpoints.

The formula needed to find the minpoints is

(x,y) = (x2 + x1)/2, (y2 + y1)/2

x2 = 3

x1 = 3

y2 = 0

y1 = -7

midpoint = (3 + 3)/2, (0 - 7)/2

midp[oint = 3,-3.5

The midpoint is the center of the circle. Observe that the signs get changed when entering the values for (x,y)

So far what you have is (x - 3)^2 + (y + 3.5)^2 = r^2

To determine r^2 you need only take the distance from the center to oneof the endpoints.

r^2 = (3 - 3)^2 + (3.5 - 0)^2

r^2 = 3.5^2

r^2 = 12.25

Answer: (x - 3)^2 + (y + 3.5)^2 = 12.25

Suppose a cylinder has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of h feet. Which equation can be used to find V, the volume of the cyl

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder can be calculated with the formula:

$V=\pi r^2h$

Where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

The radius is diameter divided by 2, then:

$r=\frac{18ft}{2}\\\\r=9ft$

Substitute the radius into the formula. Then you get the following equation that can be used to find V, the volume of the cylinder:

$V=\pi (9)^2h$
