Bill and ellen have $65.00 total to go out to dinner. knowing they need to leave 15% of their bill as a tip for the waiter, what is the maximum amount they can spend on dinner? a. $56.52 b. $65.00 c. $55.25 d. $74.75

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Bill and Ellen can spend amount on dinner = $x

Tip on this amount = 15% of x = $0.15x

Now the maximum amount they can spent = x + 0.15x = 1.15x

and 1.15x = 65

x =

x = $56.52

Therefore, Bill and Ellen can spent maximum $56.52 on dinner.

Option A is the answer.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
