Answer 1

Answer:

A) t=0.2(60.5)

B) d=0.15(34)

C) t=0.9(157.3)

D) p=100(10.49/58.25)

E) t=0.85(94.2+0.2(94.2))

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Let the tip be represented by t. The tip is 20% of $60.50:

t=0.2(60.5)

B)

Let the money they save be represented by d. Their discount is 15% of $34:

d=0.15(34)

C)

Let the new total be represented by t. Their discount is 10%, so they will only be paying 90% of $157.30t:

t=0.9(157.3)

D)

Let the percentage be represented by p. The tip is $10.49, to find this as a precent of the $58.25 bill, divide the tip by the bill and multiply by 100:

p=100(10.49/58.25)

E)

First find the total after the tip but before the coupon.

Their tip is 20% of $94.20, and their total before the coupon is $94.20 plus the tip: 94.2+0.2(94.2)

Now find their final total.

Let the final total be represented by t. The discount is 15%, so they will only be paying 85% of the total after tip:

t=0.85(94.2+0.2(94.2))
