Answer:
129 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L and C represent the scores of Luke and Caleb, respectively.
L = 2C -15 . . . . . Luke scored 15 less than twice the number Caleb did
L +C = 201 . . . . . they scored 201 points altogether
Add twice the second equation to the first:
2(L +C) + (L) = 2(201) + (2C -15)
3L +2C = 387 +2C . . . . simplify
3L = 387 . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 2C
L = 387/3 = 129 . . . . . . .divide by 3
Luke scored 129 points.
13: multiply the amount by the tax rate (to make a percent a decimal move the decimal point 2 places to the left) and add the original amount and the taxed amount together. For 12 do above but then multiply the total by the tip rate and add together (basically the same as the tax again) :) I hope this helps
