The answer is 3 yards.
There are 3 feet in a yard, so if we divide 9 (the length of the rope in feet) by 3, then we get the amount of yards in the rope: 9/3=3.
In general, √(y²) = |y|, since y can be positive or negative and y² would have the same value either way.
So,
1) if y > 0, then |y| = y, and
-15√(y²) = -15 |y| = -15y
2) if y < 0, then |y| = -y, and
-√(16y²) = -|4y| = -|4| |y| = -4 (-y) = 4y
Answer:
$88.65
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the amount of total tips, multiply 3,546.12 by 0.15 (the decimal conversion of 15%).
3546.12(0.15) = 531.918
This is the total amount of tips for the night. This is divided evenly between 6 waitresses.
531.918 / 6 = 88.65
