Mr. Webb gave his waiter a $8.60 tip on a $50 bill. What percent did he give the waiter?
Dominik [7]
<u>8.60</u> =  <u>  X  </u>
 50       100

"Percent" means "out of one hundred" (Latin).
Multiply the top by two, since 100 is twice 50, and the fractions will be equal.
The answer is 17.2%.

What is the distance between Harry’s home and his office?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The distance between Harry’s home and his office? is 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed, distance time formula is:

Speed(s)=\frac{Distance(d)}{Time(t)}

Given:

Speed (<em>s</em>) = 30 miles/hour

Then the relation between distance and time is:

s=\frac{d}{t} \\30=\frac{d}{t}\\d=30t...(i)

If Speed was 60 miles/hour the time taken is (t-\frac{1}{4}) hours.

Then the relation between distance and time is:

s=\frac{d}{t} \\60=\frac{d}{(t-\frac{1}{4}) }\\d=60t-15...(ii)

Use the value of <em>d</em> = 30t in (ii)

<em />d=60t-15\\30t=60t-15\\30t=15\\t=\frac{1}{2} hour<em />

Determine the distance as follows:

d=30t\\=30\times\frac{1}{2} \\=15\ miles

Thus, the distance between Harry’s home and his office? is 15 miles.

Consider the functions f(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = 6 + 8/x. Solve for f(g(4))
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations f(x) = 2x - 3 and g(x) = 6 + 8/x.

We want to find f(g(4))

Essentially, what we are doing, is plugging in 4 into x for g(x) and the outcome of that is what we plug into x for f(x)

So first lets plug in 4 into x for g(x)

g(x) = 6 + 8/x.

We want to find g(4)

g(4) = 6 + 8/4

First divide 8 by 4

g(4) = 6 + 2

Then add 6 and 2

g(4) = 8

Now that we have found g(4) we want to plug the value of g(4), so 8 into f(x)

f(x) = 2x - 3

we want to find f(8)

f(8) = 2(8) - 3

* multiply 2 and 8 *

f(8) = 16 - 3

* subtract 3 from 16 *

f(8) = 13

and we are done!

So we can conclude that f(g(4)) = 13

2. John and Jen went to the farmers market to buy fruit. John bought 3 boxes of oranges and 9 boxes of cherries for $78. Jen bou
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Let the cost of orange be X and cost of cherry be y

3x + 9y = 78

8x + 4y = 58

Solving equation using elimination method

multiplying eq 1 with 8 and eq 2 with 3

8(3x + 9y ) = 78(8)

3( 8x + 4y) = 3(58)

24x + 72 y = 624

24x + 12y = 174

subtracting,

60 y = 450

y = 7.5

3x + 9(7.5) = 78

3x + 67.5 = 78

3x = 78 - 67.5

3x = 10.5

x = 3.5

<h2>Box of orange = $3.5 </h2><h2>Box of cherry = $7.5</h2>
