Answer: The price of Zoe's dinner before sales tax and tips is $13.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount Zoe paid after sales tax and tip = $18.60

Let the price before tax be 'x'.

Rate of sales tax = 11%

So, it becomes,

\frac{11}{100}\times x\\\\=0.11x

So, Amount after tax, our equation, becomes,

x+0.11x=\$18.60\\\\1.11x=\$18.60\\\\x=\frac{18.60}{1.11}\\\\x=\$16.75

Now, let the amount before tips be 'y'.

Rate of tips = 20%

So, it becomes,

\frac{20}{100}\times y\\\\=0.2y

So, After tips it becomes,

y+0.2y=\$16.75\\\\1.2y=\$16.75\\\\y=\frac{16.75}{1.2}\\\\y=\$13.96

Hence, The price of Zoe's dinner before sales tax and tips is $13.96.

You have $55,000 in your savings account that pays 2.5% annual interest and the inflation rate is 3.4%. how much buying power in
lianna [129]
Your interest formula is given to you. 

<span>Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring) </span>

<span>Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100 </span>

<span>How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise, prices are going up faster than you're saving. </span>

<span>Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782 </span>

<span>How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest. </span>
<span>Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power. </span>
