$62 total food amount
6% tax
20% of original cost of food for tip
62x0.06= 3.72
62x0.2= 12.4
62+12.4+3.72= $78.12
the total cost of the group is $78.12
The correct answer is C) (5m^50 - 11n^8) (5m^50 + 11n^8)
We can tell this because of the rule regarding factoring the difference of two perfect squares. When we have two squares being multiplied, we can use the following rule.
a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)
In this case, or first term is 25m^100. So we can solve that by setting it equal to a^2.
a^2 = 25m^100 -----> take the square root of both sides
a = 5m^50
Then we can do the same for the b term.
b^2 = 121n^16 ----->take the square root of both sides
b = 11n^8
Now we can use both in the equation already given
(a - b)(a + b)
(5m^50 - 11n^16)(5m^50 + 11n^16)
I made this graph for you- the red is the 80%, and the green is the leftover 20%.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.
