You only need to look at the y intercepts.
-11 - -7 is -4, but you can't have a negative distance so it's just 4
Given:
Mr. Rodriguez : 6.25
Mrs. R 7.50
2 children @ 4.99 each <u> 9.98</u>
Subtotal: 23.73
Sales tax 7.25% 1.72 *23.73 x 7.25%
Total tip 15% <u> 3.56 </u> *23.73 x 15%
Grand total $29.01
Tips should be applied to pre-tax amount not post-tax. However, some companies compute tip based on post-tax amount. This means that the tip you are paying is computed based on the total amount of the meal as well as the sales tax you paid for the meal.
First we will find out the values of a
a/4=b/7
a=4b/7
Now
(a-b)/b
{4b/7-b}/b
(4b-7b)/7b
-3b/7b
-3/7
First we will change them on the same denominator which will be 12. If we do something to the denominator we must do the same to the numerator so :
For 1/3 we get 4/12 because (1/3)*4 = 4/12
And for 2/3 we get 8/12 because (2/3)*4 = 8/12
So 1/3 is the smaller fraction, 7/12 is in the middle and 2/3 is the bigger fraction.
