Matt decided to go out to eat. He ordered a soda for $2.15, some chicken for $8.77 and a slice of cake for $4.10. What would his entire bill be if he tipped his waiter 18%?

 $ 17.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of soda = $2.15 , Cost of chicken = $8.77 , Cost of slice of cake = $4.10.

Total bill amount = (Cost of soda ) + (Cost of chicken) +(Cost of slice of cake)

= $ (2.15 + 8.77 +4.10)

= $ 15.02

Tip amount = 18% of Total bill amount

= 0.18 (15.02)

= $ 2.7036 ≈  $2.70

Entire bill = Total bill amount  + Tip amount

= $ ( 15.02+2.70)

= $ 17.72

Hence, entire bill = $ 17.72

answer is x<

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
