Answer: The correct option is A: $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The question should be:

"The bill at the restaurant was $18.79 estimate the amount to leave as a 10% tip. A. $2.00 B. $3.00 C. $9.00 D. $21.00"

The general case is:

When we have a quantity A (where A is the 100%) the X% of A is:

(X%/100%)*A

In this problem, we have a bill of $18,79 and we want to leave a 10% tip.

Then $18,79 is the 100% we want to see how much is the 10% of $18,79

If we use the above equation we get:

Tip = (10%/100%)*$18,79 = $1,879

The option that approaches the best to this amount is option A, $2.00

Then the tip should be $2

The correct option is A.

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 47 more than the first integer. Find the three integers.

Answer:

22,23,24

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, you need to first find two consecutive integers that add up to 47, because that is the difference between the first digit and the total. This happens to be 23 and 24. Once you get these two numbers, the 22 comes intuitively, as you have to add 23 and 24 to get a difference between 22 and (22+23+24).

Hello,
To exist x≠0

if x>0 then
x+2/x>=3==>x²+2>=3x
==>x²-3x+2>=0
==>(x-2)(x-1)>=0 positive out of the roots
==> (x<=1 or x>=2) and x>0
==>(0<x<=1) or (x>=2)
else
x<0
x+2/x>=3==>x²+2<=3x
==>x²-3x+2<=0 negative betheen the roots
==>(1<=x<=2) and x<0 : no solution
end if

Triangle abc is such that ab=4 and ac=8 if m is the midpoint of bc and am=3, what is the length of bc?

zavuch27 [327]

This is an interesting question. I chose to tackle it using the Law of Cosines.
AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(B)
AM² = AB² + MB² - 2·AB·MB·cos(B)
Subtracting twice the second equation from the first, we have
AC² - 2·AM² = -AB² + BC² - 2·MB²

We know that MB = BC/2. When we substitute the given information, we have
8² - 2·3² = -4² + BC² - BC²/2
124 = BC² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, multiply by 2
2√31 = BC ≈ 11.1355
