Answer:

$17.20

Explanation:

To easily get the ratio figured out between Paul, Colin and Brian, try seeing how much the ratio adds up to. With 2:3:4, there is a total of 9; so take 1/9th of 77.40 to get $8.60

You can convert these ratios to fractions, with Paul getting 2/9ths, Colin getting 3/9ths and Brian getting 4/9ths

As Brian is effectively getting double the amount of money, you can just take the amount Paul is getting in tips and use that as the reference for how much Brian is earning which is $8.60 x 2 or in this case, $17.20

Which represents the solution set to the inequality ? x –1 x x is greater than or equal to StartFraction 7 Over 16 EndFraction.
Vikentia [17]

Inequalities are used to represent unequal expressions.

The solution set to \mathbf{x \ge \frac{7}{16}} is: [\mathbf{\frac{7}{16}, \infty)}

The inequality is given as:

\mathbf{x \ge \frac{7}{16}}

From the inequality above, we have the following observation.

  • The value of variable x starts from 7/16 (inclusive)
  • The value of variable x has no end (i.e. infinity)

Because, 7/16 is inclusive of the values of x, we make use of the open square bracket i.e. [

We treat \infty, as an exclusive value. So, we make use of the close parenthesis i.e. )

Hence, the solution set is: [\mathbf{\frac{7}{16}, \infty)}
