Ella has a points card for a movie theater. She receives 40 rewards points just for signing up.
She earns 12.5 points for each visit to the movie theater.
She needs at least 175 points for a free movie ticket.

Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine vv, the number of visits Ella can make to earn her first free movie ticket.

175<=12.5x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts with 40 points already so you add in those 40 then since she gets 12.5 points per visit that is your x, so you set that as greater than or equal to 175

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
