32
Sorry, I couldn't really think of a way to explain but the best I can is by multiplying the 4 by 8 to get the answer of 32
In the equation D = rt, the r stands for rate. The equation is saying that distance equals the rate at which you traveled multiplied with the time you traveled. In other words, r is the speed traveled. Example: If the rate at which you travel is 35 miles per hour and you traveled for 2 hours, then you have traveled 35 miles times 2 or 70 miles.
Hmm...I tried to divide 29 by 14, and I got 2.07142857143.... Does it let you round the decimal..?
The question asks per week. So 1.5 cups times 7 days is 10.5 cups.
The pipe leaks 10.5 cups every week.
Cost of Alejandro's food = $12
Tip paid by Alejandro = 20% of his bill = 20% of 12 = 2.4
Cost of Mia's food = $18
Tip paid by Mia = 15% of his bill = 15% of 18 = 2.7
Total Tip Paid = 2.4+2.7 = 5.1
Total Check Amount = 12 + 18 = 30
Total tip paid by Alejandro and Mia is r% of the total check amount.
So, we need to determine what % of 30 is equal to 5.1%
⇒ r% × 30 = 5.1
⇒ r% = 5.1 / 30
⇒ r% = 17%
Hence, r is 17%
