Karen and Kristen were in a competition to see who could walk the farthest in a week. The expression 3x - 4 represents the total number of
miles Karen walked in x days. The expression 2x + 3 represents the total
number of miles Kristen walked in x days. Who walked the farthest if they
each walked for 7 days? Explain.

They each walked the same amount if you plug 7 into each of their expressions

Step-by-step explanation:

Karen walked 3(7) - 4 or 17 miles

Kristen walked 2(7) + 3 or 17 miles

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
