Answer:
$60
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much Zoe paid before the sales tax and tip, we first need to consider the amount she paid in sales tax and tips.
Sales tax + Tips = $18.60
Let x = original price
Sales tax = 11% * original price
Sales tax = 0.11 * x
x= 0.11x
Tips = 20% * original price
Tips = 0.20 * x
x = 0.2x
Now that we have a value for both the sales tax and tips, we can then proceed to find the original price by:
0.11x + 0.2x = 18.60
0.31x = 18.60
Now we need to divide both sides by 0.31 to find x.
x = 60
Zoe's dinner before the sales tax and tips was $60.

Answer:
x=6/5 or 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
I could not tell if your original problem was 2=-5x+8 or if it should have been 2x=-5x+8 so I solved both
2= -5x+8 (next subtract 8 from both sides)
-6= -5x (divide both sides by -5)
-6/-5=x (the negative cancel out next)
6/5 or 1.20 is x
If your original problem should say 2x=-5x+8
2x=-5x+8 (add 5x to both sides next)
7x=8 (divide by 7 on both sides)
x=8/7
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The owners of Spiffy Lube want to offer their customers a 10-minute guarantee on their standard oil change service. If the oil change takes longer than 10 minutes to complete, the customers is given a coupon for a free oil change at the next visit. Based on past history, the owners believe that the timer required to complete an oil change has a normal distribution with a mean of 8.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes.
Suppose management could improve the process by reducing the mean time required for an oil change (but keeping the standard deviation the same). How much change in the mean service time would be required to allow for a 10-minute guarantee that gives a coupon to no more than 1 out of every 25 customers on average
Answer:
Required change in the mean service time is 7.8988
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
How much change in the mean service time would be required to allow for a 10-minute guarantee that gives a coupon to no more than 1 out of every 25 customers on average
let mean = μ
p( x > 10 ) ≤ (1/25)
p( x > 10 ) ≤ 0.4
p( x-μ / 1.2 > 10-μ / 1.2 ) ≤ 0.4
(10-μ / 1.2 ) ≤ 0.4
(10-μ / 1.2 ) ≥
( 0.96 )
(10-μ / 1.2 ≥ 1.751
10-μ = ≥ 1.751 × 1.2
10-μ ≤ 2.1012
μ ≤ 10 - 2.1012
μ ≤ 7.8988
Therefore, required change in the mean service time is 7.8988
