- Is means equals
- Of means multiply
- What means unknown (variable)
If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

Explanation
We are needed to find the amount Jacob will be left with after spending and reinvesting the rest using the given information.
Amount Jacob spends=87% of $100=87/100*100=$87
Amount left to invest=$(100-87)=$13
Jacob is left with $13, which she invests and earns a profit of 75%.
Profit earned on invested amount=75% of $13=75/100*13=$9.75
So, Jacob will have $13+$9.75=$22.75

Explanation
Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.

Let's calculate the number of each color of gumball:
- Red: 20% of 120 → 0.2×120=24
- Orange: 30% of 120 → 0.3×120=36
- Yellow: 5% of 120 → 0.05×120=6
- Green: 10% of 120 → 0.1×120=12
- Blue: The remaining percentage: 100%−(20%+30%+5%+10%) = 100%−65% =35%
- So, 0.35×120=42 blue gumballs.
Now, we find how many more blue gumballs there are than yellow:
42−6=36

x-2+2=4+2
x = 6
Thus, the value of x is 6.

Explanation
The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.
Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)
Total tax=$172.00
Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00
The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4

The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.
