The whole bill is $31.99 that is 100%. You can use mental math to determine exatcly 15% from $31.99:

1. 15%=10%+5%

2. To find 10% from $31.99 you should simply divide $31.99 by ten. Thus, 10% from $31.99 is $3.199.

3. 5% is half of 10%, then 5% from $31.99 is $3.199:2=$1.5995.

4. 15% from $31.99 is $3.199+$1.5995=$4.7985≈$4.80.

Answer: correct choice is B.

Letter B bc if you do the actual math it comes to be 4.79 so mentally you would give a 4.80 tip

$\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{0,2,a,b\}}\mathbb P(X=x)=1$
$\mathbb P(X=0)+\mathbb P(X=2)+\mathbb P(X=a)+\mathbb P(X=b)=1$
$0.2+0.4+0.3+\mathbb P(X=b)=1$
$\implies\mathbb P(X=b)=0.1$

$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{0,2,a,b\}}x\mathbb P(X=x)=2.8$
$0\mathbb P(X=0)+2\mathbb P(X=2)+a\mathbb P(X=a)+b\mathbb P(X=b)=2.8$
$0.8+0.3a+0.1b=2.8$
$0.3a+0.1b=2$

$a+b=6\implies0.3a+0.1b=0.2a+0.1(6)=2$
$0.2a+0.6=2\implies0.2a=1.4\implies a=7$

ruslelena [56]

If Jackson went to the movies and payed $7 initially for his ticket and then payed $2 for each box of candy that he buys, then the equation could look like this: y = 2x + 7, where y represents the total cost and x represents the number of boxes of candy Jackson buys.

How many meters are there in 33 km?

s2008m [1.1K]

1000 meters make 1km. So let's compare that with the question.
1000m=1km
Y=33km
I represented the unknown with Y. Next, you have to cross and multiply. 33 will multiply 1,000 to give 33,000. And Y will multiply 1 to give Y. That will be;
Y=33,000m
33km makes 33,000m.
Hope that helped. Have a nice day
