Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

One member of the gardening club can alone plant flowers in 12 hours.

So in 1 hour he can plant 1/12 of the flowers.

Let the time required by the second member of the club to plant flowers alone be x hours.

Then in 1 hour he can plant 1/x of the flowers.

Now when the two members work together,each hour they can plant:

\[\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{x}\] of the flowers.

But they can together complete the job in 8 hours. So in one hour they plant 1/8 of the flowers.

=> \[\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{8}\]

=> \[\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{24}\]


=> x=24

So the second member can plant the flowers alone in 24 hours

Steven and his family ordered a meal the cost 136.50. Steven paid 14% sales tax and left a 20% tip on 136.50. What was the total
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The total cost was $182.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax formula:

tax=tax percentage×amount

Tip formula:

tip=tip percentage×amount

solve

First find the tax. Write 14% as the decimal 0.14 before using it in the equation.

tax

= tax percentage×amount

= 0.14×136.50

= 19.11

The tax was $19.11.

Now find the tip. Write 20% as the decimal 0.20 before using it in the equation.

tip

= tip percentage×amount

= 0.20×136.50

= 27.3

The tip was $27.30.

Finally, find the total cost.

total cost

= cost + tax+tip

= 136.50+19.11+27.30

= 182.91
