Answer:

Option B

The total amount is $63.31 if there is an 8% tax and the customer leaves a 20% gratuity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

List of items                           Prices

1 Appetizer                             $8.59

2 Entrees                                $15.99 each

1 dessert                                 $4.69

2 drinks                                   $2.10 each

Total amount for the food order came to, \left ( 1\times \$ 8.59 \right +2\times \$15.99+1\times \$4.69+2\times\$2.10)=\left (\$ 8.59 \right + \$31.98+ \$4.69+\$4.20)=$49.46

Since the restaurant charges 8% as a tax on the total bill.

First, figure out the tax, 8% of $49.46=0.08\times $49.46=$3.9568

Now, figure out the Customer leaves a  gratuity, 20% of $49.46=0.20\times \$49.46=\$9.896

The total amount( including 8% tax and 20% gratuity )=$49.46+$9.896+$3.9568=$63.3128\approx \$63.31

Anyone can help me solve this equation using cross multiplying
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

  x = 1 or 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The notion of "cross-multiplying" is the idea that the numerator on the left is multiplied by the denominator on the right, and the numerator on the right is multiplied by the denominator on the left. This looks like ...

  \displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\ \longrightarrow\ (x-1)(3x-1)=(7)(2x-2)

Then the solution proceeds by eliminating parentheses, and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

  3x^2-4x+1=14x-14\\\\3x^2-18x+15=0\qquad\text{subtract $14x-14$}\\\\x^2-6x+5=0 \qquad\text{divide by 3}\\\\(x-1)(x-5)=0\qquad\text{factor}\\\\x\in\{1,5\}

<em>Comment on "cross multiply"</em>

Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes <em>what the result looks like</em>. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The <em>one and only rule</em> in solving Algebra problems is "<em>whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation</em>." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.

What looks like "cross multiply" is really "<em>multiply by the product of the denominators</em> and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.

  \displaystyle \frac{x-1}{7}=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\\\\\frac{x-1}{7}\times7(3x-1)=\frac{2x-2}{3x-1}\times7(3x-1)\\\\(x-1)(3x-1)=(2x-2)(7)\qquad\textit{looks like}\text{ cross multiply}

What value of x is in the solution set of -5x - 15 &gt; 10 + 20x?​
Georgia [21]

Answer:

-1>x

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 15 > 10 + 20x

Add 5x to each side

-5x+5x - 15 > 10 + 20x+5x

-15> 10+25x

Subtract 10 from each side

-10 - 15 > 10-10 + 25x

-25> 25x

Divide each side by 25

-25/25> 25x/25

-1>x
