Let's say that you go out for dinner. The meal and the service are excellent. You want to leave a really good tip for the waiter

, and you've heard that 20 percent is a really good tip. The total bill for your dinner is $53.82.
Write a paragraph explaining how to quickly estimate that the 20 percent tip rounded to the nearest dollar is $11. Type your answer into a text file.
Math is soooo confusing to me :/

First, to estimate we can round 53.82 up to 55.00. Then you can look at it like this: when you divide 100 by 20 you get 5, so 20% is one fifth of 100. Therefore, we want to find one fifth of $55. To do this, you multiply 55*1/5. When you multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other, you get 55/5. When you divide the numerator and denominator by 5, you get 11/1 or $11.

Hope this helps

kherson [118]

Answer:

width = 9.36 ft

length = 21.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x ft long. Then it follows that the length will be (x+12) ft long.

To calculate the area would then be

x(x+12) = 200

xx^{2} +12x=200x^{2} +12x-200=0

x = 9.36 ft or x = -21.36 ft

We take the positive answer. So the dimensions are

width = 9.36 ft

length =  9.36 + 12 = 21.36 ft

What is the coefficient of the variable in the expression 6-4x-8x+2
Daniel [21]

I think the trick is to add the two middle terms together.  (And the 2 end terms).

8 - 12x

The variable is x. The coefficient is - 12.

8 is a constant.

The coefficient always goes with a variable.

3x^2 + 2x + 5

Nothing can be combined.  The leading coefficient is 3 (which goes with the greatest power of the variable x^2 in this case) and the other coefficient is 2. 5 is a constant.
