He earns 18% tips on his food sales. So, his tips are proportional to the amount of food he sells.
From what you know about the restaurant business, what would have to be true for his tips to be proportional to the amount of hours he works?
Do you think that situation (Michael's amount of food sales being the same every hour) is likely in a real restaurant?
Step-by-step explanation:
7p – 3q
if p= 8 and q = -5
7(8)-3(-5)
56+15
=71
It has become somewhat fashionable to have students derive the Quadratic Formula themselves; this is done by completing the square for the generic quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. While I can understand the impulse (showing students how the Formula was invented, and thereby providing a concrete example of the usefulness of abstract symbolic manipulation), the computations involved are often a bit beyond the average student at this point.
Answer: 13.5 ounce bottle for $2.19
a 29.2 ounce bottle for $5.37
The 29.2 ounce bottle is better
Step-by-step explanation:
13.5 ounce bottle for $2.19
a 29.2 ounce bottle for $5.37
find the ratios
13.5/2.19 = $6.16 per unit
29.2/5.37 = $5.44 per unit
Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
