If we set the unknown distance (in miles) as x, then we set up an equation according to the data, we can solve for x.

Time taken to go to resort : x/48
Time taken to return : x/40
Total time = x/48+x/40 = 11
Solve for x
common multiple between 48 and 40 = 240
so 
5x/240 + 6x/240 = 11
(5x+6x)/240 = 11
11x  = 11*240, => x=240
Distance from home to resort is 240 miles

This problem is fairly simple if you know the exponential equation, you start with y=78(.17)^x. the you put 10=78(.17)^x, then you solve for x 

10=78(.17)^x 
-78
-68=.17^x 
divide .17 then you have your answer!!

. You and a friend have dinner at a restaurant . Your meal costs $15.85 and you leave an 18% tip and your friend's meal cost $14
Allushta [10]

Answer:

$1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

18% of $15.85 is 2.853, so your total is $18.703

20% of $14.30 is 2.86, so their total is $17.16

So the difference is $1.543, rounded (since your dealing with money) would be $1.54
