To find the tip of the bill. You will need to find how much of $86.40 is 20%. In this question, they're asking how much is the tip, not how much will the final price be.

When you multiply a percentage you move the decimal point 2 times to the left: 20. → .20

You would multiply $86.40 by .20

When you solve it 86.40 × .20 = 17.28

$17.28 is 20% of $86.40

$17.28 will be the amount he got for his tip.

My mom keeps saying i need to know how to do this in my head. I'll do it with a calculator just to be safe lol.

So to do this all we have to do is multiply 86.40 x .20 and we get $17.28

$17.28<--- Answer.

Suppose we take the interval [−5,7] and divide it into 4 equal subintervals. Find the width Δn of each subinterval. Δn = If we n

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

$x_0=-5\\x_1=-2\\x_2=1\\x_3=4\\x_4=7$

Δn=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, if we need to divide the interval (a,b) in n equal subinterval, then we need divide the distance (d) between the endpoints of the interval and divide it by n. Then the width Δn of each subinterval is d/n.

We have the interval [-5,7]. The distance between the endpoints of the interval is

$d=7-(-5)=12$ .
