find the total to the nearest cent $24 lunch 15% tip# show work

Answers

Answer:

$27.60

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find how much the tip is:

we can convert 15% directly to a decimal:

15% = 0.15  

Then we find :

15% of 24 = 0.15 x 24 = 3.59999999999999

3.599999999999999 to the nearest cent is 3.60

Then we add the tip to the original bill:

3.60 + 24 = 27.60

So the total cost of the lunch is $27.60

In pedros town 42% of the houses have both internet service and a home phone. If 82% of all the houses in his town have internet service, what is the probability that a house has a home phone if it has internet service?

Answers

Answer: 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

For a random selection, we have a probability of 0.42 where the house has both services and a probability of 0.82 that the house has only internet service.

Let's suppose that the percentage of houses the houses with internet service (the 82% of the total) that also have a home phone is X

Then we must have that, (X/100%) times the 0.82, must be equal to 0.42

(X/100%)*0.82 = 0.42

X = (0.42/0.82)*100% = 51%

This means that 51% of the houses with internet service, also have a home phone.

Then the probability that a house has a home phone given that it has internet service, is equal to:

51%/100% = 0.51

The probability is 0.51

What is the total cost of a $75.00 item with a sales tax of 4%?
$78.00
$72.00
$79.45
$81.00

Answers

Answer: The answer is A, $78.00

Step-by-step explanation: Hope it helps

The required cost of the item after 4% of sales tax is given as $78.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is the ratio of the composition of matter to the overall composition of matter multiplied by 100.

Here,
Let the total cost of the item be x,
According to the question,
x = cost + sales tax
X = 75 + 4% of 75
x = 75 + 3
x = $78

Thus, the required cost of the item after 4% of sales tax is given as $78.

What is the solution to the inequality x + 4 + 2x ≤ 20 + 5x – 32

Answers

Answer:

x+4+2x = 20+5x-32

Step-by-step explanation:

x+4+2x

= 3x + 4

20+5x-32

= 20-32+5x

= 5x-12

Finding the value of X

3x+4 = 5x-12

= 4+12 = 5x-3x

= 16 = 2x

= 16/2 = X

= 8 = X

By putting the value of X in the equation

(3×8)+4

= 24 +4

= 28

(5×8)-12

= 40-12

28

28 = 28

so the X+4+2x < 20+5x-32 is wrong

how maby solutions does this have

8 + 2 (x - 6 ) = -2 +2x - 2​

Answers

Answer:

This has infinite solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed are: One variable equations, Algebra, Adding/Subtracting Like Terms

1) We first start with the equation: 8 + 2 (x - 6 ) = -2 +2x - 2​

2) We first need to use distribution property for the parentheses.

We need to distribute the 2 to the x and the -6.

3) This would be 8 + 2x - 12 = -2 +2x - 2

4) The next thing to do is combine like terms.

Like terms are terms with the same variable, or no variable at all. 8 and 6 would be like terms, and 2x and 4x would be like terms. 2x^2 and 4x would not be like terms as one has x^2 and the other has only x.

3) Now you know what like terms are, you can implement this into the problem --> Combine the 8 and 12 on the left side  + Combine the -2 and -2 on the right side ----> 2x-4 = 2x-4

4) Since both sides have the same exact thing (both sides have 2x-4) this equation has infinite solutions.

Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D

A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 222-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months.

Let yyy represent the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) after xxx weeks. Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.

Answers

A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 2-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 3 weeks, the sheet is only 1.25 meters thick. Let y represent the ice sheet's thickness ( in meters) after x weeks. Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.

Answer:

y = 2 - 0.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the initial thickness of the ice sheet = 2 meters,

After 3 weeks, the thickness of ice sheet reduced to 1.25 meters

Hence, the difference in the thickness in 3 weeks is calculated as:

2m - 1.25m = 0.75m

The amount of changes that occurred in 3 weeks is given as:

= 0.75/3 = 0.25 meters,

We are told that, the ice is melting with the constant rate.

Therefore, the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks is given as:

y = 2 - 0.25x

Pat earns $30.00 for traveling to the homes plus $10.50 for each hour of tutoring. Write a linear equation that models their total earnings for traveling and tutoring for a given number of hours.

Answers

Answer: 30 + 10.50h

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Pat earns $30.00 for traveling to the homes plus $10.50 for each hour of tutoring.

The linear equation that models their total earnings for traveling and tutoring for a given number of hours would be written as:

= $30 + $10.50h

where h represents the number of hours for tutoring used.

For example, if 2 hours if tutoring was used, the total amount earned would be:

= 30 + 10.50h

= 30 + 10.50(2)

= 30 + 21

= $51
