The mean can be found by adding the two numbers and dividing by 2
let the second number be y
(x + y)/2 = 1/2x + 1
solve for y
multiply each side by 2
x + y = 2(1/2x + 1)
distribute
x + y = x + 2
subtract x on both sides
y = 2
ANSWER: the second number is 2
Answer:
$49.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Dinner cost $38.95 before tax and tip are included.
Directions say to ADD 7% tip first so,
38.95 multiplied by 7%= 2.7265, Round up to $2.73
ADD $38.95 and $2.73 tax= $41.68
Now, multiply $41.68 by 18% to find the tip amount
$41.68 * 18%= 7.5024, Round to $7.50
ADD $41.68 and $7.50 to get answer: $49.18
Formula : Amount of change / Original amount
1. 144 - 90/ 144
2. Subtract 144 and 90
3. 54/ 144
4. Divide 54 by 144
5 0.375
6 Move the decimal two places to the right.
