Susan is celebrating her birthday by going out to eat at five guy's for burgers. If the bill in $40 and she wants to leave a tip
damaskus [11]

Answer:

  $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan can easily figure the tip by the following procedure. 10% of the bill is the amount with the decimal point moved one place to the left, so is $4.00. 5% of the bill is half that, or $2.00.

15% of the bill is 10% + 5%, so is $4.00 +2.00 = $6.00. The tip will be $6.00.

Y= -2+21
This is because the slope needs to be the negative reciprocal of 1/2 so the slope is -2 then you take the point (5,11) and plug that an the -2 into y=m(x)+b and you solve for b. In the end you get 21

Please help me solve this (ASAP)
joja [24]
Since complementary angles add to 90°, (4x - 1) and (5x + 19), also add to 90°.

Thus, lets form an equation:

90 = 5x + 19 + 4x - 1
72 = 9x
x = 9

Thus, the measure of angle B is 64°.
