A tomato sauce recipe calls for 3/4 Cups of basil for each 1/8 teaspoon of salt. If 1 cup of basil is used, how many teaspoons of salt should be used?

Work Shown:

3/4 cups basil : 1/8 teaspoon of salt

1 cup basil : (4/3)*(1/8) teaspoon of salt

1 cup basil : (4*1)/(3*8) teaspoon of salt

1 cup basil : 4/24 teaspoon of salt

1 cup basil : 1/6 teaspoon of salt

You'll split a full teaspoon into 6 smaller pieces, and only use one of those pieces.

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
