Answer:
1a) t = 0.17b
1b) $36.03
2) 51,167.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1a) 17% converted to a decimal (divide by 100) = 0.17. Multiply that by the amount of the bill (before tipping) to get the amount of the tip
1b) The bill of $248 represents the entire bill (100%) plus the tip amount (17%) which makes 117%. As a decimal, this is 1.17.
To find what the cost was without the tip, divide the bill total by 1.17
248/1.17 = 211.97. That was the bill before the tip was added.
248-211.97 = 36.03 was the tip added.
2) 5.5% converted to a decimal is 0.055
0.55 x 48,500 = 2667.50
$2,667.50 + $48,500 = 51,167.50
Or, you can use what we did in 1b, and his new salary is 1.055 times 48,500
1.055 x 48,500 = 51,167.50
The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.
15x + 7 = 23x - 17
7 = 8x - 17
8x = 24
x = 3
Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52
Hope this helps!
