1. Convert the percents to decimals (you can do this by dividing each # by 100);
8/100= .08
15/100= .15

2. First take off the 8%;
$55.35 * .08 = $4.43

3. Take off the 15% (still use the original bill amount);
$55.35 * .15 = $8.30

4. Add the $ together after find the rate for each percent.;
$4.43 + 8.30 = $12.73

5. Subtract the add rates from the bill;
$55.35 - $ 12.73 = $42.62(answer)

They are charged $55.35 after being charged 8% tax and a 15% tip for the waiter
8% is 0.08 in decimal form, 15% is 0.15, 100% (original price) is just 1 so

(1+0.08+0.15)x=55.35
1.23x=55.35
x= $45 meal

Negative exponents work like this:

a^{-b}=\dfrac{1}{a^b}

So, in order to evaluate a negative exponent, you simply have to invert the base, and then raise to the positive equivalent of the exponent.

As an example, here are the first three exercises:

8^{-3}=\dfrac{1}{8^3}=\dfrac{1}{512}

(-4)^{-5}=\dfrac{1}{(-4)^5}=-\dfrac{1}{1024}

2k^{-4}=\dfrac{2}{k^4}

You can work out the rest applying this logic.

I found the image that accompanied this problem.
We need to solve for the area of the sector.

A = n/360 * π * r²
A = 85/360 * 3.14 * 5²
A = 0.2361 * 3.14 * 25
A = 18.5347 

Answer is C. 18.5 square meters.

What is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic centimeters, with a height of 2 centimeters
harina [27]

Answer:

<h2>         V ≈ 628.3 cm³</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder:  V = π×r² × h

diameter = 20 cm  ⇒  r = 10 cm

h = 2 cm

Volume:

V = π×(10)²×2 = 200π cm³ = 628.318.... cm³ ≈ 628.3 cm³

Solve 11 2/5 = q - 4 2/7 + 2 1/7
RideAnS [48]
I turn the mixed numbers into decimals before doing anything else.
11 2/5----> 57/5----> 11.4
4 2/7----> 30/7----> 4.29
2 1/7----> 15/7----> 2.14

11.4=q-4.29+2.14
11.4=q-2.15
13.55= q

13.55 converted to a fraction is 13 11⁄20
q=13 11⁄20
