Question:

Diners frequently add a​ 15% tip when charging a meal to a credit card. What is the price of the meal without the tip if the amount charged is ​$20.70? How much was the​ tip?

Answer:

Price of meal = $18

Tip price = $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the meal be <em>y</em>;

Let the tip be <em>t</em>

<em></em>

<em>From the question;</em>

15% of <em>y </em>is the tip charge (<em>t</em>). i.e

t = 15%y

=> t = 0.15y          --------(i)

<em>The total amount charged is $20.70  (This means that the sum of the price of the meal and the tip is $20.70)</em>

=> y + t = 20.70            [substitute the value of t=0.15y from equation (i)]

=> y + 0.15y = 20.70

=> 1.15y = 20.70

=> y = \frac{20.70}{1.15}

=> y = $18

Therefore the price of the meal, y, is $18.

From equation (i),

t = 0.15y           [substitute the value of y = $18]

t = 0.15(18)

t = $2.70

Therefore the tip was $2.70

If f(x) = 3x22, evaluate afI: ()k=1
Korolek [52]

Step 1: Write out the function given

f(x)=3x^2-x

Step 2: Interprete the question given

\sum ^5_{k\mathop=1}f(\frac{k}{2})

The question requested we find the summation of the first five terms for f(k/2), when k is 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

Step 3: Find the expression for f(k/2)

\begin{gathered} f(\frac{k}{2})=3(\frac{k}{2})^2-\frac{k}{2} \\ =\frac{3k^2}{4}-\frac{k}{2} \\ =\frac{3k^2-2k}{4} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} =\frac{3(1)^2-2(1)}{4}+\frac{3(2)^2-2(2)}{4}+\frac{3(3)^2-2(3)}{4}+\frac{3(4)^2-2(4)}{4}+\frac{3(5)^2-2(5)}{4} \\ =\frac{1+8+21+40+65}{4} \\ =\frac{135}{4} \\ =33.75 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is 33.75
