I think it is B because 11 is just 11 so yeah
Hi there!
The way that an infinite number of solutions is achieved is when the two equations, when solved together, get an answer which is just a number equal to the same number. To do this, first substitute 6x-b in for y in the second equation.
Now, we see that b needs to be equal to -3 when multiplied by -1/2. When both sides are divided by -1/2, b becomes equal to 6. Thus, b must be 6.
Check work:
Thus, as they are equal to each other, the answer is correct. b = 6.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
1a) t = 0.17b
1b) $36.03
2) 51,167.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1a) 17% converted to a decimal (divide by 100) = 0.17. Multiply that by the amount of the bill (before tipping) to get the amount of the tip
1b) The bill of $248 represents the entire bill (100%) plus the tip amount (17%) which makes 117%. As a decimal, this is 1.17.
To find what the cost was without the tip, divide the bill total by 1.17
248/1.17 = 211.97. That was the bill before the tip was added.
248-211.97 = 36.03 was the tip added.
2) 5.5% converted to a decimal is 0.055
0.55 x 48,500 = 2667.50
$2,667.50 + $48,500 = 51,167.50
Or, you can use what we did in 1b, and his new salary is 1.055 times 48,500
1.055 x 48,500 = 51,167.50
