A group of friends went out for dinner and decided to split the cost of the bill equally. If each person contributed $32, the fr

iends would have $18 more than they needed for the bill but not enough for a 15% tip. If each person contributed $35, they would cover the bill and a 15% tip and have $6.30 left over. How much was the bill, and how many friends went out for dinner?

Answer:

The number of friends that went out for dinner is 8

And their bill is $238

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the number of friends that went out for dinner to be x

And the bill for the dinner to be y

If each person contributed $32 and paid off the bill,they will have a balance of $18

32x - 18 = y_____equation 1

If each person contributed $35 and paid off the bill and also 15% tip,they will have a balance of $6.30

35x - 6.3 = y + (15% of y)

35x - 6.3 = y + (3y/20)

Open up the bracket

35x - 6.3 =(20y + 3y)/20

700x - 126 = 23y______equation 2

From equation 1,y = 32x - 18

Put the above in equation 2 and we have

700x - 126 = 23(32x -18)

700x - 126 = 736x - 414

collect like terms

36x = 288

x = 288/36

x = 8

Remember that equation 1 says that y = 32x - 18 and we now know that x = 8 .

Substitute and we have

(32 × 8) - 18

y = 238

The number of friends that went out for dinner is 8

And their bill is $238

Which of the following is the equation of the line that is parallel to y=35x+8 y = 3 5 x + 8 and goes through point (-10,4)?
xeze [42]

Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b.

Where m= slope and b= y-intercept.

First step is to compare the given equation y=35x+8 with the above equation to get the value of m.

After comparing the two equations we will get m=35.

Slope of paralle lines always equal which means slope of a line which is parallel to the above line will also be 35.

Now the line is passing through (-10,4).

Point slope form of a line is :

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )

Next step is to plug in m=35, x1=-10 and y1=4 in the above equation. So,

y-4=35(x-(-10)

y-4=35(x+10)

y-4=35x+350

y=35x+350+4

y=35x+354.

So, the equation of the line is y=35x+354.

A camera costs 115 Canadian Dollars. If each Canadian dollar is worth 0.952 U.S Dollars, how much would the camera cost in U.S D
PIT_PIT [208]
This is truly a simple, one-step equation if looked at in the right angle.

You're going to want to multiply 115 by .952:

       115
<u>   x .952
</u>       230
+   6050
<u>+ 93500
</u>  109.48

$109.48 is your final answer.
