Divide the tip by the amount dinner was and you get your percentage for the tip

Answer:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the percentage of something, you have to fill out the following formula:

x/100 = 21.25/125. Basically that is saying that some percent out of 100 is equal to 21.25 out of 125. To solve that, you have to cross multiply:

125x = 2125

then you have to divide, to single out x:

the answer is 17

so it is 17%

Estimate the solution to the system of equations. asap, please!! I will mark for brain list
Darya [45]

Answer:

(1 \frac{1}{3}, 2 \frac{1}{3} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

7x - y = 7 → (1)

x + 2y = 6 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term

14x - 2y = 14 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

15x = 20 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x = \frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3} = 1 \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value of x into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting in (2)

\frac{4}{3} + 2y = 6

2y = 6 - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{14}{3} ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = \frac{7}{3} = 2 \frac{1}{3}

5. Find cos theta if sin theta= -12/13<br> and tan theta &gt; 0. (6 points)
ziro4ka [17]

\text{Given that,}\\\\\sin \theta = -\dfrac{12}{13}\\\\\implies \sin^2 \theta = \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies 1- \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = 1- \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac{25}{169}\\\\\implies \cos \theta = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{169}} = \pm \dfrac 5{13}\\\\\\\text{Since,}~ \tan \theta >0,\\\\\cos \theta =- \dfrac{5}{13}
