Answer: the group rented 11 Person tubes and 4 cooler tubes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of tubes, Person tube and cooler tube.

Let P represent number of Person tubes that the group rented.

Let C represent number of Cooler tubes that the group rented.

The group spends $270 to rent a total of 15 tubes and Person tube $20 Cooler tube $12.50. Two linear equations can be derived from the above information

P + C = 15 - - - - - - - 1

20P + 12.5C = 270 - - - -- - - 2

Substituting P = 15 - C into equation 2,

It becomes

20(15-C) + 12.5C = 270

300 - 20C + 12.5C = 270

- 20C + 12.5C = 270 -300

7.5C = - 30

C = 30/7.5 = 4

P = 15 - C

P = 15 - 4 = 11

Carlos's restaurant check is for $24.50. If he wants to add a 17% tip, what total amount should he pay?
Licemer1 [7]
First, convert the 17% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 17%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "17%" becomes 17% / 100% = 0.17 in terms of a real mathematical number.
Second, you need to find out what 17% of your $24.50 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.17 by $24.50

0.17 x $24.50=$4.16.
So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $4.16.

This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)

$24.50 + $4.16 = $28.67.
