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

Answer:

Ivy is 6 years old and Rose is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, two variables are necessary since we have two unknown variables: Ivy's age and Rose's age.

Ivy's age will be $x$

and Rose's age will be $y$

"Ivy is half as old as her sister":

$x=\frac{y}{2}$

this will be our <u>fist equation.</u>

"In six years, Ivy will be two-thirds as old as Rose"

in six years Ivy will have $x+6$ years, and Rose will have $y +6$ years, so for this sentence we have the equation:

$x+6=\frac{2}{3}(y+6)$

this will be our <u>second equation.</u>

Substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second, and solving for y(Rose):

$\frac{y}{2}+6=\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\\frac{y+12}{2} =\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\y+12=\frac{4}{3} (y+6)\\3(y+12)=4(y+6)\\3y+36=4y+24\\36-24=4y-3y\\12=y$

Rose is 12 years old.

and Ivy (using the fist equation):

$x=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Ivy is 6 years old.

The region is in the first quadrant, and the axis are continuous lines, then x>=0 and y>=0
The region from x=0 to x=1 is below a dashed line that goes through the points:
P1=(0,2)=(x1,y1)→x1=0, y1=2
P2=(1,3)=(x2,y2)→x2=1, y2=3
We can find the equation of this line using the point-slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(3-2)/(1-0)
m=1/1
m=1
y-2=1(x-0)
y-2=1(x)
y-2=x
y-2+2=x+2
y=x+2
The region is below this line, and the line is dashed, then the region from x=0 to x=1 is:
y<x+2 (Options A or B)

The region from x=2 to x=4 is below the line that goes through the points:
P2=(1,3)=(x2,y2)→x2=1, y2=3
P3=(4,0)=(x3,y3)→x3=4, y3=0
We can find the equation of this line using the point-slope equation:
y-y3=m(x-x3)
m=(y3-y2)/(x3-x2)
m=(0-3)/(4-1)
m=(-3)/3
m=-1
y-0=-1(x-4)
y=-x+4
The region is below this line, and the line is continuos, then the region from x=1 to x=4 is:
y<=-x+2 (Option B)

Answer: The system of inequalities would produce the region indicated on the graph is Option B

How do I solve this and answer?

kodGreya [7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

at first solve first triangle with Pythagorean solving witch it c²=a²+b²

you have to change a bit so it will be c²-b²=a²

you start with 8 and 10 triangle and then you get line which is in the middle and yo udo just the same with triangle 8 and the solved side and you get x in the second triangle you have to use c²-a²=b²
