Two friends, Alejandro and Mia, agreed to split the check at a restaurant. Alejandro ordered $12 worth of food and Mia ordered $

18 worth. At the end of the meal, Alejandro put his $12 contribution on the table, plus a $20% tip on his bill and Mia put her $18 contribution on the table, plus a $15% tip on her bill.
The total tip left by Alejandro and Mia is equal to r% of the total check for their table, where the "total check" amount does not include the tip. What is r?

Cost of Alejandro's food = $12

Tip paid by Alejandro = 20% of his bill = 20% of 12 = 2.4

Cost of Mia's food = $18

Tip paid by Mia = 15% of his bill = 15% of 18 = 2.7

Total Tip Paid = 2.4+2.7 = 5.1

Total Check Amount = 12 + 18 = 30

Total tip paid by Alejandro and Mia is r% of the total check amount.

So, we need to determine what % of 30 is equal to 5.1%

⇒ r% × 30 = 5.1

⇒ r% = 5.1 / 30

⇒ r% = 17%

Hence, r is 17%

During the summer, the height of the water in the pool decreased by 5 inches each week due to evaporation. What is the change in
rjkz [21]

Answer:

40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the height of water in a pool decreased 5 inches per week.

This means that we can form the equation y=-5x, since the amount of water remaining is proportionate to the amount of weeks that have passed.

We know x=8, since we need to find the change for 8 weeks.

y = -5\cdot 8

-5 \cdot 8 = -40

y=-40

The change will be the absolute value of -40, which just makes it positive, so 40.

Hope this helped!
