First, there was $37.50.
Then, there was a tax of 8%.
Then, there was a tip of 18%.
Since the tip is after the tax, it's not going to affect it, and we can essentially ignore it.

The real question here is just <em>what is 8% of $37.50?</em>

To find the percent of something, first you need to put the percent as a decimal.

8% in decimal form is 0.08 (If you think about it literally, they're both 8 hundredths)

Finally, just multiply the percent in decimal form by the number.

37.50 dollars × 0.08 = 3 dollars.<em />

8%= .08 37.50 x .08= $ 3.00 using only the amount of the original bill,since that was what the tax was based on hope this helps

Answer:

D.\ y = 3\sin(2(x + \frac{\pi}{4}))

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = 3 --- Amplitude

C = \frac{\pi}{4} --- Right phase shift

Required

Identify the function

A sinusoidal function is defined as:

y = A\sin(B(x + C)) + D

Substitute values for A and C

y = 3\sin(B(x + \frac{\pi}{4})) + D

By comparison, only option (D) has the above format where

y = 3\sin(2(x + \frac{\pi}{4}))

Hence (D) is correct

If f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=1x what is the value of (f-g)(2)
Lyrx [107]

f(x) 3x+1

g(x) 1x

f(1x) = 3(1x)+1

f = 3x+1

g(3x+1) = 1(3x+1)

g = 3x+1

The change in altitude of a bird after 2 __ 1 2 seconds was –41 __ 1 4 feet. What was the average change in altitude of the bird
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Average\ Change = -1\frac{7}{10} ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Altitude\ Change = -4\frac{1}{4} \ ft

Time = 2\frac{1}{2}\ s

Required

Determine the average change

This is calculated as follows:

Average\ Change = \frac{Altitude\ Change}{Time}

This gives:

Average\ Change = \frac{-4\frac{1}{4}}{2\frac{1}{2}}

Average\ Change = -4\frac{1}{4}/2\frac{1}{2}

Convert to improper fractions

Average\ Change = -\frac{17}{4}/\frac{5}{2}

Convert to multiplication

Average\ Change = -\frac{17}{4}*\frac{2}{5}

Average\ Change = -\frac{17}{2}*\frac{1}{5}

Average\ Change = -\frac{17}{10}

Average\ Change = -1\frac{7}{10} ft/s
