Answer:

65.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

After eating a meal at a restaurant, we decided to tip 25%, building a grand total of $87.50.

To find:

Price before tip

Solution:

87.50 × 25% = 21.875

~Round~: 21.875 to 21.88

87.50 - 21 .88 = 65.62

Thus the price before the tip is 65.62

Check Answer:

<em>Formula: Higher number - Lower number ÷ original number × 100</em>

<em>Solve: </em>

<em>87.50 - 65.62 = 21.88</em>

<em>21.88 ÷ 87.50=0.25005714285</em>

<em>0.25005714285 × 100 = 25.0057142857</em>

<em>Round - 25%</em>

So,

In order to find numbers that are in between 3/8 and 6/7, Lucy must make common denominators first.

LCM of 8 and 7: 56

Multiply each fraction by the appropriate form of 1:
\frac{3}{8} *  \frac{7}{7}\ AND \  \frac{6}{7} *  \frac{8}{8}

\frac{21}{56}\ AND\  \frac{48}{56}

We can immediately see that any fraction with a numerator between 21 and 48 and a denominator of 56 will fit into the criteria Lucy needs.

The correct option is B.

PLEASE HELP!! the measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio 2:3. What is the measure of the smaller angle?
ivolga24 [154]
The answer is 36°.

Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90°.

Let angles be x and y.
x + y = 90°
x : y = 2 : 3
_____
3 * x = 2 * y
3x = 2y
x + y = 90°
_____
x = 2/3*y
x + y = 90°
2/3y + y = 90°
2/3y + 3/3y = 90°
5/3y = 90°
5y = 90° * 3
5y = 270°
y = 54°

x + 54° = 90° 
x = 90° - 54°
x = 36°

The smaller angle is 36°

You borrowed 43,800 at a SIMPLE interest rate of 4.8%. If you pay it back in 2 years, how much
Naddik [55]

Answer:

I = $4204.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Principal, P = $43,800

Interest rate = 4.8%

Rate = 2 years

We need to find the interest that is paid back. We know that, simple interest is given by :

I=\dfrac{PRT}{100}

Put all the values,

I=\dfrac{43800\times 4.8\times 2}{100}\\\\=\$4204.8

So, the required interest is equal to $4204.8 .
