Answer:

A person who holds a master's degree would earn an average $63,000

A person who holds a bachelor's only would earn an average $53,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We will need to construct equations from the sentences.

Firstly, let the yearly average for a master's degree holder be m and that of bachelor's be b.

Now, we know that someone with a master's earn 43000 less than twice what someone with bachelors earn.

Mathematically,

m = 2b - 43,000

Combined, they have an average salary of 116,000

Mathematically,

m + b = 116,000

Now we have 2 equations to solve simultaneously.

m = 2b - 43,000 ......(i)

m + b = 116,000 .......(ii)

We can sub I into ii

2b - 43,000 + b = 116,000

2b+b = 116,000 + 43,000

3b = 159,000

b = 159,000/3 = 53,000

m = 2b - 43,000

m = 2(53,000) - 43,000 = 63,000

The Jackson family went out to dinner
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:  Amount that the Smith family need to pay for the meal including tax and tip = 53.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price of the meal = 43.45

Rate of sales tax = 7%

Amount becomes after the sales tax is given by

\frac{7}{100}\times 43.45\\\\\frac{304.15}{100}\\\\=3.0415\\\\\text{Amount}=43.45+3.0415=46.4915

Rate of tips over meal and sales = 15%

Amount of tips is given by

\frac{15}{100}\times 46.4915\\\\=0.15\times 46.4915\\\\=6.974

So, Amount becomes

46.4915+6.974\\\\=53.465\\\\=53.47

Hence, Amount that the Smith family need to pay for the meal including tax and tip = 53.47.
