Answer:

$70.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 appetizer = $8.99

Cost of 1 entrees= $14.99

Cost of 2 entrees= 14.99 \times 2 = 29.98

Cost of 1 entree: $12.99

Cost of 3 drinks = 1.99 \times 3 =5.97

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + $29.98 + 12.99 + $5.97

Total cost before tax = $57.93

there is 7.5% tax

So, tax =7.5 \% \times 57.93 = \frac{7.5}{100} \times 57.93 =4.34

The customer leaves a 15% gratuity.

Gratuity=15 \% \times 57.93 = \frac{15}{100} \times 57.93 =8.69

So, Total cost including tax and gratuity = $57.93 + $8.69 + $4.34 = $70.96

So, Option A is true

The first thing we are going to do to find the total cost of the meal before tax:

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + 2($14.99) + $12.99 + 3($1.99)

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + $29.98 + 12.99 + $5.97

Total cost before tax = $57.93

Regarding the 15% gratuity, remember that the unofficial rule for tipping at restaurants is to tip according to the actual value of the meal and not the tax, so we calculate the value of the tip first, and then we add it to the total at the end of our calculations.

Tip = 15%($57.93) = $8.69

Now, lets calculate the tax

Tax = 7.5%($57.93) = $4.34

Finally, we can calculate the total cost of the meal

Total cost = cost before tax + tip + tax

Total cost = $57.93 + $8.69 + $4.34 = $70.96

We can conclude that the correct answer is a. $70.96

The equation for the cost in dollars of producing automobile tires is c = 0.000015x2 - 0.03x + 35, where x is the number of tire
statuscvo [17]
The cost function is
c = 0.000015x² - 0.03x + 35
where x = number of tires.

To find the value of x that minimizes cost, the derivative of c with respect to x should be zero. Therefore
0.000015*2x - 0.03 = 0
0.00003x = 0.03
x = 1000

Note:
The second derivative of c with respect to x is positive (= 0.00003), so the value for x will yield the minimum value.

The minimum cost is
Cmin = 0.000015*1000² - 0.03*1000 + 35
          = 20

Answer:
Number of tires = 1000
Minimum cost = 20

What are the ordered pairs of the solutions for this system of equations? f(x)=x2-2x+3; f(x)=-2x+28
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: (5,18); (-5,38)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2x+3=-2x+28

x^2-25=0

(x-5)(x+5)= 0

-2(5)+28= 18

-2(-5)+28=38

(5,18)(-5,38)
