The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

The faster rate is when she hiked down 200 feet in 10 minutes.

Explanation:

The rate of change is given by the change in y over the change in x; in this case, the change in elevation over the change in time.

For the first part of the hike, the change in elevation was -200 and the change in time was 10; this gives us a rate of change of -200/10 = -20.

For the second part of the hike, the change in elevation was -300 and the change in time was 20; this gives us a rate of change of -300/20 = -15.

She hiked downhill faster during the first part of the hike, at 20 feet per minute.

Jamal Buys a lunch special for $9.50And a dessert for $3.50. He wants to leave a tip that is about 15% of the bill. He estimates
sergey [27]

Answer:

  His estimate is somewhat low.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total bill is $9.50 +3.50 = $13.00. The estimated tip is 15% of $10, so Jamal needs to add 15% of $3, or $0.45, to his estimate to leave a tip equal to 15% of the bill.

The tip Jamal has calculated is about 11.5% of the bill. (1.50/13.00 ≈ 0.1154)

The tip Jamal wants to leave is $1.95. (0.15·13.00 = 1.95)
