Cost of the spa treatment = $42
Percentage of sales tax = 6%
Percentage of tips = 20%
Normally the tips amount is calculated before adding sales tax.
Then
Amount of tips given = (20/100) * 42
= (1/5) * 42
= 8.40 dollars
Amount of sales tax taken = (6/100) * 42
= 252/100
= 2.52 dollars
Then
The total amount spent for spa treatment = (42 + 8.40 + 2.52) dollars
= 52.92 dollars
So we can see that $52.92 has been spent in total for spa treatment and this amount includes a sales tax of $2.52 and a tip of $8.40.

A prop assistant needs to rent a telescope to use for a scene in a movie. One company charges $57 per day plus a flat fee of $32

vovangra [49]

The number of days for both Companies to have the same total amount is

6.4 days

<h3>Word Problem leading to Algebraic expression</h3>

Given Data

Let the total payment be y

Let the number of days be x

Company A

Charges per day = $57

Flat fee = $32

y = 57x+ 32 -----------------1

Company B

Charges per day = $62

Flat fee = $0

y = 62x + 0-----------------2

Equating 1 and 2 we have

57x+ 32 = 62x+ 0

Solving for x we have

62x-57x = 32

5x = 32

Divide both sides by 5

x = 32/5

x = 6.4 days

Find the missing side of this right

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First start with the blank equation

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

Plug in the legs and hypotenuse. Remember c squared is always the hypotenuse.

$5^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2}$

Then solve

25 + 144 = $c^{2}$

169 = $c^{2}$

$\sqrt{169} = \sqrt{c^{2} }$

c = 13
