Harrison and Martin want to order a couple of pizzas to be delivered they want to give the driver an 18% tip if their food total is $28.00 how much will the total be if they include the 15% tip

Question

18% of $28.00=__
the total cost will be __

Answer 1

To calculate the 18% tip on a food total of $28.00:

1. First, calculate 18% of $28.00: \[ 18% \text{ of } 28 = 0.18 \times 28 = 5.04 \]

2. Now, add the tip to the original food total to find the total cost: \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Food total} + \text{Tip} = 28.00 + 5.04 = 33.04 \]

So, the 18% tip on $28.00 is $5.04, and the total cost including the tip will be $33.04.

If you meant to refer to a 15% tip instead, please clarify, and I can calculate that for you as well!

Answer 2

mrs franks is taking her kindergarten class to the circus she spent a total of $180 for 20 child tickets. if a child is $5 less than an adult ticket determine the price of an adult and child ticket represent this situation with an equation using m as the cost of the adult ticket

Answer 3

Let's define the variables based on the information provided:

• Let \( m \) be the cost of an adult ticket.
• Then, the cost of a child ticket is \( m - 5 \) (since a child ticket is $5 less than an adult ticket).

Mrs. Franks bought 20 child tickets for a total of $180. We can set up the equation based on this information:

\[ \text{Total cost for child tickets} = \text{Number of child tickets} \times \text{Cost of a child ticket} \]

Substituting the known values into the equation gives us:

\[ 20 \times (m - 5) = 180 \]

To solve for \( m \), we can start by simplifying this equation:

1. Distribute the 20: \[ 20m - 100 = 180 \]

2. Add 100 to both sides: \[ 20m = 280 \]

3. Divide by 20: \[ m = 14 \]

Now that we know the cost of an adult ticket:

• The cost of an adult ticket (\( m \)) is $14.
• The cost of a child ticket (\( m - 5 \)) is: \[ 14 - 5 = 9 \] So, the cost of a child ticket is $9.

Summary:

• Adult ticket price: $14
• Child ticket price: $9
