Answer:

Each person will pay $ 7.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the total bill

Pizza $18.60

Salad $2.50

<u>Soda $2.25</u>

Total  $ 23.35

Sales Tax would be=  8 1/4% of $ 23.35 =$ 1.926= $ 1.93

Tip = 15% of $ 23.35= $ 3.5025

Total Bill paid= $ 23.35 + $ 1.93+ $3.50= $ 28.7825 or $ 28.78

Now dividing the bill among 4 persons = $ 28.78/4= $ 7.196 or $ 7.20

Paying the bill equally is better  and convenient than paying alone as each person gets an equal share of pizza, salad and the soda.

One warehouse had 185 tons of coal, another one had 237 tons. The first warehouse delivered 15 tons of coal to its clients daily
lianna [129]

Answer:

In 9 days will the second warehouse have 1.5 times more coal than the first one

Step-by-step explanation:

The coal left in warehouses after x days can be found using the equation:

  • first warehouse: 185 - 15x
  • second warehouse= 237-18x

Let the second warehouse have 1.5 times more coal than the first one after n days then  

  1. 1.5 ×(185 - 15n)=237-18n  which gives:
  2. 277,5-22,5n=237-18n and
  3. 40,5=4,5n
  4. 9=n
