Javier and his friends go out to eat. The restaurant they chose automatically adds a 15% gratuity to their food bill since they

siniylev [52]

well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.

now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"? the 100%.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 213.90&115\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{213.9}{x}=\cfrac{115}{100}\implies 21390=115x \\\\\\ \cfrac{21390}{115}=x\implies 186=x$

so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.

but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.

now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 186&100\\ 47.90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{186}{47.90}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 186x=4790 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4790}{186}\implies x\approx \stackrel{\%}{25.75}$

At 2:00 p.m. two cars start toward each other from towns 240 miles apart. If the rate of one car is 10 mph faster than the other

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.
At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).
But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles.
