Alright so to do this you need some basic algebra
you have to pay an extra 20% of whatever you buy
thus we can make the following equation
.2x+x=20  (since 20 is the amount of money you have)
combining the like terms,
1.2x=20
and finally, dividing both sides by 1.2
x=$16.67
don't forget to check!
.05*16.67=.83 (sales tax makes the total $17.5)
.15*16.67=2.5 (tip makes the total $20)
whaddya you know, it works!
most expensive item you can buy will cost $16.67
hope this helped!

A book falls from a shelf that is 5 feet above the floor. A model for the height h in feet if an object dropped from an initial
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

About 0.559 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The height equation is:

h=-16t^2+h_0

Where h_0 is the initial height of the book, which is 5, so we can write:

h=-16t^2+5

Now, we want time it took for the book to reach ground (h = 0)

So, we substitute h = 0 and solve for t:

h=-16t^2+5\\0=-16t^2+5\\16t^2=5\\t^2=0.3125\\t=0.5590\\t=0.559

It took about 0.559 seconds for the book to reach the ground

lesya [120]

Answer:

83/100 x 180

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the cost of the ticket after the discount.

100% - 17%= 83%

83% of the total percentage of the original price that he needs to pay.

So we do:

83/100 x 180

So, this would be the expression.

Hope this helps!:)
