Answer:
Neil pays 1/3 of the total bill, which is 1/3 * 72 or 24. He then tips 20% of that which is 24 * 0.2 or 4.80. So in all he paid
24+4.80 or 28.80
x ≈ 14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos59° = = ( multiply both sides by 28 )
28 × cos59° , then
x ≈ 14.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
4
-2 + 6 = 4
She did not use the reciprocal of the divisor.
