C.$97.20
D.$218.70

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

C. $97.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dinner bill be $x.

The tip given to the waiter is $14.58.

Also, it is given that the tip is 15% of the tip.

Thus we get the relation 15% of x = 14.58

i.e. 0.15x = 14.58

i.e. $x=(14.58)/(0.15)$

i.e. x = 97.20

Hence, the amount of dinner bill before the tip is added is given by $97.20

Answer 2

Answer: the answer is :

the amount of the bill before the tip = 14.58 *100 /15 = 97.20 $

Which one is greater 0.64 or 7over 10

Answers

7 over 10 is that what you mean

7/10 in the calculator is 0.7 so it is greater than 0.64

Whats more 5 miles or 26,300 yards

Answers

26300 is more because 5 miles is almost the same but I had searched up and it said 5 miles is less

26,300 yards is longer because 26,300 yard is equal to 14.94 miles ( 14 or 15 miles)

What is the correct equation from the choices provided.samantha begins her road trip with 30 gallons of gasoline in the tank of her van. her van gets 25 miles to the gallon. let yrepresent the number of gallons of gasoline in the tank after x miles of travel.

Answers

$y=-(1)/(25)x+30$

The +30 represents the 30 gallons of gasoline at the beginning of Samantha's road trip.
As each mile, x, does by, 1/25 of a gallon is lost (because the van gets 25 miles per gallon). so you put a negative 1/25 in front of the x. Therefore, when Samantha has driven x miles,she will have y gallons of gas left.

Make a table of values and create a line of best fit

Explanation:

Hello! remember you have to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here I'll explain this in a general way assuming the following table:

$\begin{array}{cc}x & y\n0 & 0\n1 & 2\n2 & 4\n3 & 6\n4 & 8\n5 & 10\end{array}$

As you can see, x increases in steps of 1 units. So let's check the difference in y:

$\bullet \ \text{From x=0 to x=1} \n \n \Delta y=2-0=2 \n \n \n \bullet \ \text{From x=1 to x=2} \n \n \Delta y=4-2=2 \n \n \n \bullet \ \text{From x=2 to x=3} \n \n \Delta y=6-4=2 \n \n \n \bullet \ \text{From x=3 to x=4} \n \n \Delta y=8-6=2 \n \n \n \bullet \ \text{From x=4 to x=5} \n \n \Delta y=10-8=2$

So we have a constant difference and we can conclude the table represents a line. Since the line passes through then y is directly proportional to x, so we can write:

$y=kx \n \n Where: \n \n k \ is \ constant \ of \ proportionality \ or \ the \ slope$
