Answer:
Original number = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
10*x + y
x = y - 5
10y + x = 2 (10x + y) + 7
10y + y - 5 = 2(10(y - 5) + y) + 7
11y - 5 = 2(10y - 50 + y ) + 7
11y - 5 = 2(11y - 50) + 7
11y - 5 = 22y - 100 + 7
11y - 5 = 22y - 93
11y + 88 = 22y
88 = 11y
y = 8
x = y - 5
x = 8 - 5
x = 3
So the original number is 38. Does that work?
3 is 5 less than 8.
83 = 2*38 + 7
83 = 76 + 7
83 = 83. Yes it works.
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%.

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?

The total cost for the entire life span of the deep fryer is computed below:
Brand P total cost =Purchase price + total electricity cost
= $144+($0.49x8x12x6)
=$426.24
Brand Q total cost =(Purchase price x 3)+ total electricity cost
=( $37.5x3)+($0.75x 8x12x6)
= $544.5
Difference = Brand Q-Brand P
=$544.5-$426.24
=$118.26
Robert will have to choose Brand P because it will be cheaper by $118.26 than Brand Q in their entire lifetime.
