let 


x = the number of party favors in each of the 27 boxes

y = the number of party favors in the last box


the total number of party favors is 1,552


27x + y = 1,552


since 1552 = 57*27 + 13


if we assume that y<x we conclude that there are 57 party favors in each of the 27 boxes and 13 party favors in the last box.

A restaurant bill is $84.96. Estimate a 20% tip. Estimate a 15% tip.
Lisa [10]
If you have to estimate I will put $85 and then to find 20 % you just have to kniw that 10% is equal to 8.5 you just move a decimal then you just add 8.5 plus 8.5 = 17 so 20% of 85 is equal to $17 and to find 15% you already know how much is 10%=8.5 so you just need to find 5% that is equal to 4.25 and then you just add 4.25 to 8.5 and that's equal to 12.75

20%= 17
15%=12.5

Ron is 8 years old and 40 inches tall. If he grows at the same rate every year, how tall was he when he was 5 years old?
Vadim26 [7]
He would be 25 inches tall.

40 divided by 8 would equal 5 so at age 1, he was 5 inches tall. So 5 times 5 which is how old he was, would equal 25 inches.
