Since the tip is 15% of some cost x, we can calculate that.
Remember to write the percent as a decimal for the calculations
Think of the tip as the question 2.40 is 15% of what number?

2.40/x = 15/100
Multiply both sides by x
2.40 = 15x/100
2.40 = 0.15x

So the tip 2.40 = 0.15x
Divide both sides 0.15 to solve for x
And that makes the cost before the tip 2.40/0.15 = 16.00
$16.00
The total bill for his lunch would be the cost before the tip plus the tip

We can calculate the final bill as $16.00 + $2.40 = $18.40

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive numbers be 2n and 2n+2

The sum of these numbers in 2n + (2n+2).

Hence

2n + (2n+2) = 34

4n + 2 = 34

4n  = 32

n =8.

the formula for converting Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit temperature is a linear equation. Water freezes at 0°C, or 32°F and

F=32+1.8c. This is in slope intercept form, so 32 is the Y intercept, and the slope is 1.8(9/5).

Solve.E6xplain how you get the answer without using a calculator 6/3 + 1/2
fiasKO [112]

I'm just gonna assume that 6/3 and 1/2 are fractions.

First you have to find common denominators for the fractions to be added.

The first common denominator divisible by both the denominators is 6.

So 2x3=6 and 1x3=3

and 3x2+6 and 6x2+12

so that would be 12/6 + 3/6

Then you would proceed to add both of the numerators together which are 12 and 3.

To get a total of 15/6. You can also simplify that into a mixed number 2 1/2.
