Let's solve each problem step by step.

1. Rafeal's Family Dinner Tip

To calculate the tip amount, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Dinner Cost} \times \text{Tip Percentage} \]

Dinner cost = $56.25
Tip percentage = 35% = 0.35

Calculating the tip: \[ \text{Tip} = 56.25 \times 0.35 = 19.6875 \] Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Tip} \approx 19.69 \] Answer: $19.69


2. Percent Error of Layla’s Prediction

Percent error formula: \[ \text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{\text{Actual Value} - \text{Predicted Value}}{\text{Actual Value}}\right| \times 100% \]

Actual value = 81,500
Predicted value = 79,000

Calculating percent error: \[ \text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{81,500 - 79,000}{81,500}\right| \times 100% \] \[ = \left|\frac{2,500}{81,500}\right| \times 100% \approx 3.07% \] Answer: 3.07%


3. Percent Error in Aatikah's Prediction

Use the same percent error formula: \[ \text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{\text{Actual Value} - \text{Predicted Value}}{\text{Predicted Value}}\right| \times 100% \]

Predicted value = $30.00
Actual value = $19.75

Calculating percent error: \[ \text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{30.00 - 19.75}{30.00}\right| \times 100% \] \[ = \left|\frac{10.25}{30.00}\right| \times 100% \approx 34.17% \] Rounding to the nearest whole number: \[ \approx 34% \] Answer: None of the options seem to match the calculation. The closest option would be 34%, but it seems there may be an error in the options provided.


4. Percent Error in Julian and Brittany's Prediction

Calculating percent error: \[ \text{Percent Error} = \left|\frac{275 - 265}{275}\right| \times 100% \] \[ = \left|\frac{10}{275}\right| \times 100% \approx 3.6364% \] Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ \approx 3.64% \] Answer: 3.63%

  1. Tip: $19.69
  2. Layla's Percent Error: 3.07%
  3. Aatikah's Percent Error: 34% (not one of the listed options)
