First find the percent of the sales tax added with the tip amount, which is 20%
15% + 5% = 20%
and the percent amount to the original amount, so
20% + 100% = 120%
$18=120% of original amount (12/10 is the same thing as 120%), so
18/12*10=$15= price of meal before tax and tip!

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm less than twice the width. If the perimeter is 42 cm, what is the length of the rectangle?
larisa [96]

Answer:

The length is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

w+w+l+l= perimeter

if the length is 3m less than twice the width then let's do some math.

42 divided 2 =21. so the width and length of one side have to equal 21. For example, let's use 8 as the width. The length would be twice(16) minus three(13) 13 plus 8 is 21. WOW it equals half of it so no we know the length is 13 and the wdith is 8.
