Cooper ate brunch at a restaurant . The bill came to $15. If he left a 15% tip, how much was the tip. Explain step by step so I know how to solve problems like these.

Hi

X +0.15X = 15

1.15X = 15

X =  15/ 1.15

X = 13.04

what is the answer?

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
