1. She can travel 18 miles. Subtract 35 - 2 (initial fee) to have 33. divide 33 by 1.75 to get 18.85. To check how much her total would be, use inverse operations. 18.85 * 1.75 = 32.9875. 32.9875 + 2 = 34.9875. It is barely under $35 but still in her budget.
2. 20m * $1.75 = $35. $70 - $35 = $35. Yes, she can cover the fare. Samantha has more than needed. She can afford the taxi fare and still have money left for future use.
Answer: 70
Step-by-step explanation:
12*10 = 120-50 = 70
-12 + 3x + 2 = 5x - 10 - 8x
-10 + 3x = -3x -10
-10 + 6x = -10
6x = 0
x = 0
The answer is 14%
Cost of meal is 100%: $18.50 is 100%
Tip is x%: $2.59 is x
Make a proportion:
$18.50 : 100% = $2.59 : x
x = 100% * $2.59 : $18.50
x = 14%
