<span>The two checkpoints are 4,920 ft. apart from each other. The total distance of the race is 15,840 ft. If checkpoint C half the distance between checkpoint B and the end of the race, the distance between Checkpoint B and the end of the race is 9,840 ft. Half of that distance is 4,920 ft.</span>
First let's define the variables of the problem:
t: Tip
b: dinner bill.
We write the inequality based on the following proposition:
"Maria would like to leave a tip (t) of at least 15% of her dinner bill (b)"
We have then that the inequation is:
t> = 0.15b
Answer:
An inequality best could be used to find the amount of the tip Maria would like to leave is:
t> = 0.15b
On the right side we have st which is the same as s*t or s times t
We want to undo the multiplication that is happening to s, so we have to divide both sides by t
d = s*t
d/t = s*t/t ..... divide both sides by t
d/t = s
s = d/t
Answer: Choice A)
