Answer: If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is $147.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the customer's total amount.

It is given that 15% of the customer's total = $22.05

⇒15% of x= $22.05

$\Rightarrow0.15x=\$22.05\\\\\text{Divide 0.15 on both sides, we get}\22.05\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{22.05}{0.15}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\$147$

Therefore, If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is $147.

Let the customer's total = x

x*15/100 = 22.05

x*15 = 2205

x= 2205/15

x = 147

So, the customer's total would be $147

Part A: Find a rational number that is between 7.7 and 7.9. Explain why it is rational. (2 points)

A rational number is any number that can be written as the ratio between two other numbers i.e. in the form $\frac{a}{b}$

Part A:
An easy choice that makes sense is 7.8, right in the middle. To prove that it's rational we need to write it as a ratio. In this case we have $7.8=\frac{78}{10}$

Part B:
We need a number that can't be written as a ratio (because it neither terminates nor repeats). Some common ones are $\sqrt{2}$ , $e$ , $\phi$ and $\pi$ so it makes sense to try and use those to build our number. In this case $\frac{11\sqrt{2}}{5}\approx7.78$ works nicely.
