What is 15% tip on a meal that costs $38.40

Mathematics
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way to work with percentage is to take the decimal and move it over one to the left and that will give you 10%.

Since you 38.40 move the decimal over one to the left and you'll get 3.84. That is 10%, but since you need 15% divide 3.84 by two to get 5%- that is 1.92.

3.84 (10%) + 1.92 (5%) = 5.76 (15%)

White raven [17]

Answer:

Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.

<u>The area is:</u>

  • A = lw = 3x*x = 3x²

<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>

  • w = x - 2

<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>

  • l = 3x + 4

<u>The area is now:</u>

  • (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
  • 3x² +  4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
  • x² - 2x - 8 = 0
  • x² - 2x + 1 = 9
  • (x - 1)² = 3²
  • x - 1 = 3
  • x = 4

The breadth was 4 m and the length  12 m

The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 10. If 18 is added to the number, the digits of the new number are those of the ori
Aliun [14]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (ab) represent a number with a in the ten's position and b is the one's position.

This means (ab) actually has value of 10a+b.

We are given the sum of those digits of (ab) is 10; this means a+b=10.

It says if 18 is added to the number (ab), then the result is (ba).

So (ab) has value 10a+b and

(ba) has value 10b+a.

We are given then:

(ab)+18=(ba)

10a+b+18=10b+a

Subtract 10a on both sides:

b+18=10b+a-10a

Simplify:

b+18=10b-9a

Subtract b on both sides:

18=10b-b-9a

18=9b-9a

Divide both sides by 9:

2=b-a

Rearrange by commutative property:

2=-a+b

So the system of equations we want to solve is:

a+b=10

-a+b=2

-------------------------Add equations together (this will eliminate the variable a and allow you to go ahead and solve for b:

0+2b=12

2b=12

Divide both sides by 2:

b=\frac{12}{2}

Simplify:

b=6

If b=6 and a+b=10, then a=4.  a=4 since 4+6=10.

So the original number is (46).

18 more than 46 is 18+46=(64) which is what we wanted.

We also have the sum of 4 and 6 is 10 as well.
