If you are using a calculator, simply enter 16÷72×100 which will give you 22.22 as the answer.
As Louis is only leaving a 20% tip on the pretax bill, this means he's leaving 20% of $27.62
The best thing to do is to find 10% and double it.
27.62/10= 2.76 (as it rounds down)
2.76*2= 5.52
Therefore, you've got to add $5.52 to $27.62
$5.52+$27.62= $33.14
Hope this helps :)
Regroup terms
2(x + 2) = 1
Divided both sides by 2
x + 2 = 1/2
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 1/2 - 2
Simplify 1/2 - 2 to -3/2
<u>x = -3/2</u>
