If the tip was $5.50 and it's 20% of the bill before sales tax, 5.5/x = 2/10 becuase 5.5 divided by the total must be the same as 20%. Cross multiply to find the answer; 5.5 * 10 = 2x, then 55 = 2x, then x = 27.5

You can check by multiplying 27.5 * 0.2 (which is 20%) and that is 5.5 This means that the total cost before tax is $27.50

Leokris [45]

Answer:

1/25 to get both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

So the probability of getting one choice correct is 1/5

Since 5 choices 1 is correct

now we have to get 2 in a row correct so

1/5*1/5=1/25

The manager of a grocery store wants to determine the average amount of money spent at his store as it compares to the average d
dexar [7]

Given

Expenditures at Manager's Store; expenditures at Competitor's Store.

Find

a) average spent at each store

b) which store is better represented by the mean value

c) an explanation for the answer in ≥ 2 sentences

Solution

a) The sum of expenditures divided by the number of expenditures (15) is ...

... average for Manager's Store: $37.60

... average for Competitor's Store: $48.53

b) The expenditures at Manager's Store are well-represented by the mean (average).

c) The range of expenditures at Competitor's Store is significantly higher than at Manager's store, so a single number such as mean or median does not represent the data well. The expenditures at Manager's store are more compactly grouped around the mean and median, which are closer together, so the mean is a good representation of Manager's Store expenditures overall.

Find the exact value of cos(a+b) if cos a=-1/3 and cos b=-1/4 if the terminal side if a lies in quadrant 3 and the terminal side
maria [59]

Answer:

cos(a + b) = \frac{1}{12}(1-2\sqrt{30})

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(a + b) = cos(a).cos(b) - sin(a).sin(b) [Identity]

cos(a) = -\frac{1}{3}

cos(b) = -\frac{1}{4}

Since, terminal side of angle 'a' lies in quadrant 3, sine of angle 'a' will be negative.

sin(a) = -\sqrt{1-(-\frac{1}{3})^2} [Since, sin(a) = \sqrt{(1-\text{cos}^2a)}]

         = -\sqrt{\frac{8}{9}}

         = -\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}

Similarly, terminal side of angle 'b' lies in quadrant 2, sine of angle 'b' will be  negative.

sin(b) = -\sqrt{1-(-\frac{1}{4})^2}

         = -\sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}

         = -\frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}

By substituting these values in the identity,

cos(a + b) = (-\frac{1}{3})(-\frac{1}{4})-(-\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3})(-\frac{\sqrt{15}}{4})

                = \frac{1}{12}-\frac{\sqrt{120}}{12}

                = \frac{1}{12}(1-\sqrt{120})

                = \frac{1}{12}(1-2\sqrt{30})

Therefore, cos(a + b) = \frac{1}{12}(1-2\sqrt{30})
