So basically, we are looking for the amount of tip that the rider gave the driver if the driver paid a total of 23.25 dollars. So in order to get the tip, we just have to multiply the total cost of the taxi, which is 23.25, to the percentage of the tip which is 15%. So in order to get the final answer, we have to express the formula as this. 23.25 x 0.15. So if we would solve this equation, we will get an answer of 3.4875. So the tip that was given was 3.4875
Answer:
nj +k = p
Step-by-step explanation:
n = (p-k)/j
Multiply each side by j
nj = (p-k)/j *j
nj = p-k
Add k to each side
nj +k p-k+k
nj +k = p

Answer: Area = 6m²
Smaller number = 16
Hours = 9.6 h
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.
1) w = x m 2) w = x + 1 m
l = x + 5 m l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m
A₁ = A₂
A = w*l
A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x
A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2
A₁ = A₂
x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2
5x - 3x = 2
2x = 2
x = 1
A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²
The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.
<u> 2 </u> = <u> x </u>
5 40
5x = 80
x = 80/5 = 16
Sixteen construction workers can finish cementing a floor of a building in 3 hours. On a certain day, only 5 construction workers are available for the job. How long will it take the 5 construction workers to do the cementing job?
workers hours
16 3
5 x
↑ ↓ inversely proportional
<u> 5 </u> = <u> 3 </u>
16 x
5x = 16*3
5x = 48
x = 48/5
x = 9.6 h
