Answer:

Using mental math, the approximate tip to leave for a bill of $81.79, if you tip 15% would be?

c.$12.30

Step-by-step explanation:

10% is $8.179, then 5% is a half of this sum, i.e. $8.179:2=$4.0895

3. 15%=10%+5% and in $ it is $8.179+$4.0895=$12.2685 that is nearly $12.30.

Darren invests $4,500 into an account that earns 5% annual interests. How much will be in the account after 10 years if the inte
Tom [10]

We have been given that Darren invests $4,500 into an account that earns 5% annual interests. We are asked to find the amount in his account after 10 years, if the interest rate is compounded annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.    

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}, where,

A = Final amount,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year,

t = Time in years.

5\%=\frac{5}{100}=0.05

When compounded annually, n=1:

A=4500(1+\frac{0.05}{1})^{1\cdot 10}

A=4500(1.05)^{10}

A=4500(1.6288946267774414)

A=7330.025820498\approx 7330.03

When compounded quarterly, n=4:

A=4500(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4\cdot 10}

A=4500(1.0125)^{40}

A=4500(1.6436194634870132)

A=7396.28758569\approx 7396.29

When compounded monthly, n=12:

A=4500(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{12\cdot 10}

A=4500(1.00416666)^{120}

A=4500(1.64700949769)

A=7411.542739605\approx 7411.54

When compounded daily, n=365:

A=4500(1+\frac{0.05}{365})^{365\cdot 10}

A=4500(1.0001369863013699)^{3650}  

A=4500(1.6486648137656943695)

A=7418.9916619456\approx 7419.00

Since amount earned will be maximum, when interest is compounded daily, therefore, Darren should use compounded daily interest rate.

Part 1
Let:
y be the total cost
x be the number of tickets
a be fair admission

Since the fair charges $1.25 per ticket, the equation of the line would look like:

y = 1.25x + a

Since Johnny spent $43.75 and bought 25 tickets, we find a by replacing y with 43.75 and x with 25:

43.75 = 1.25×25 + a

Now solve for a

43.75 = 31.25 + a
43.75 - 31.25 = a
a = 12.50

Going back to the first equation:

y = 1.25x + 12.50


Part 2:
a) Let (9,8) be (x1,y1) and (4,-12) be (x2,y2)
The formula for slope is:
m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}  \\ m =  \frac{ - 12 - 8}{4 - 9}  \\ m =  \frac{ - 20}{ - 5}  \\ m = 4
b) For the point-slope equation, I'll use (9,8)
Using the formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1) \\ y - 8 = 4(x - 9)
c) For the slope-intercept form, we solve for y in the point-slope formula:
y - 8 = 4(x - 9) \\ y = 4x - 36 + 8 \\ y = 4x - 28

Rational, because they follow a pattern and end. They make sense.
