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

Find a unit vector that is orthogonal to both i + j and i + k.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: i - j - k

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the cross product between two vectors will give you a third vector that is orthogonal(perpendicular) to both vectors.

<1,1,0> x <1,0,1>

det(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&0\\1&0&1\end{array}\right] )

the determinate of the matrix: <1,-(1),-1>

or: i - j - k
