Answer:
$15.17
Step-by-step explanation:
First we calculate the value for the sales tax:
we then add the value for the sales tax ($1.07) to the initial bill:
We were instructed to calculate the tip after the sales tax was added so:
after we will add the value for the tip to the value that we have for the bill ( this is the new value that includes the sales tax) to find the total cost:
<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>cost</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>his</em><em> </em><em>mean</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>$</em><em>15.17</em>
Answer: Choice D
b greater-than 3 and StartFraction 2 over 15 EndFraction
In other words,
b > 3 & 2/15
or
========================================================
Explanation:
Let's convert the mixed number 2 & 3/5 into an improper fraction.
We'll use the rule
a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c
In this case, a = 2, b = 3, c = 5
So,
a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c
2 & 3/5 = (2*5 + 3)/5
2 & 3/5 = (10 + 3)/5
2 & 3/5 = 13/5
The inequality is the same as
---------------------
Let's multiply both sides by 15 to clear out the fractions
---------------------
Now isolate the variable b
Side note: Another way to go from 47/15 to 3 & 2/15 is to notice how
47/15 = 3 remainder 2
The 3 is the whole part while 2 helps form the fractional part. The denominator stays at 15 the whole time.
