A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $38.40. They wish to leave a 15% gratuity. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?

we are needed to find the portion of pizza shared by 3 three friends. We treat the whole pizza as 1. Now, 1 friend eats half of the whole pizza. Thus,

One friend=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2

Remaining amount=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2

Thus, ½ of pizza is left for three friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get

So, the other three friends will each get 1/6 of the pizza.

The initial step is to convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

4.4 becomes 44/10

4.25 becomes 425/100

Thus, the set of fractions is 9/2, 44/10, 10/3, 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.

9/2*300=1350

44/10*300=1320

10/3*300=1000

425/100*300=1275

From the above, 1350 is the greatest value which corresponds to 9/2. Thus, 9/2 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

to change L to mL we use the following options of interconversions:

Or

Since we are needed to change L to mL, use the second option.

Thus, a bucket can hold 3000 mL which is equal to 3 L.

In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:

The first step is to divide both sides by 4

Since 5 is subtracted, we add 5 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation

Thus, the value of x is 7.

the median of a data set is the element that is found on the middle position. It is found by organizing the elements from the smallest to largest.

The data set above arranged from the smallest to largest is:

11, 12, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 22, 26

The number of elements is odd and the median is found in the (N+1)/2 th position. Here N=11, and the median falls in (11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.

The element 14 falls in the 6th position, which is our median of the given data set.

Based on the above data, the horizontal axis will be tree type and vertical axis will represent the number of trees.

Based on these, a bar graph is appropriate to represent the number trees.

we need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.

Let the number be x.

Twice a number=2x

Five less than twice a number=2x-5

So the mathematical express from the word problem is 2x-5

: we are to find the selling price of the sweater after subtracting the mark off price.

Mark off value=mark off rate*original price

Mark of value=25%*$87

We convert 25% into a fraction, which become 25/100=0.25. Then

Mark of value=0.25*$87=$21.75

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $65.

scatter plots can of three types: positive, negative and no correlation. A positive correlation scatter plot shows that as one variable increase, the other variable increases. A positive correlation can be visually depicted below.

In a negative correlation, the change in one variable is inversely proportional to another variable. That is, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases as shown below.

The third type of scatter plot is a no-correlation scatter plot. In this type of plot, there is no defined relationship between one variable and another one as in the curve below.

If we look at the relationship between the time the student listens to music and his test score, it is evident that no relationship exists between the two variables. Thus, this is a type of no correlation scatter plot.

We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion fractions of interconverting are:

And

Since we want to end up with millimeters, the second conversion is used in converting L to mL as:

Thus, 0.5 L is equivalent to 500 mL.
