Answer:
$7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Rounded to the nearest $10, the $49.35 bill becomes $50.
We can find 10% of that amount by moving the decimal point to the left. 10% of $50 is $5.00.
Then 5% of $50 is half of 10%, so is $5/2 = $2.50.
The estimated tip of 15% is the sum of 10% and 5% of the bill, so is ...
15%($50) = 10%($50) +5%($50) = $5.00 +2.50 = $7.50
The estimated 15% tip is $7.50.
We'll use PEMDAS which stands for
P = parenthesis
E = exponents
M = multiplication
D = division
A = addition
S = subtraction
It tells us the order in how to evaluate math expressions. We start with parenthesis, then move to exponents, etc until we get to subtraction as the last step.
We have parenthesis so we focus on whats inside it. We evaluate 2^0 to get 1. Any nonzero number to the exponent 0 is always 1. In other words, x^0 = 1 where x is nonzero.
So 3(2^0) turns into 3(1) or 3*1
Then we multiply that to get 3*1 = 3
So overall, 3(2^0) = 3
A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60
