A band earned $550 for playing at a concert their manager takes 15% of the money earned for each show and the band is donating 20% of the money earned to charity how much money is left for the bend to split
The manager takes 15% of $550, which is 0.15 x $550 = $82.50.
The band is donating 20% of $550, which is 0.20 x $550 = $110.
Subtracting the manager's fee and the charity donation from the total earnings gives:
$550 - $82.50 - $110 = $357.50.
Therefore, the band is left with $357.50 to split among themselves.
The bill for a meal at a restaurant before tax is $84 the sales tax rate is 7% and you want to leave a 20% tip based on the pre-tax amount what is the final amount of money you will spend
To calculate the sales tax, we first need to find 7% of the pre-tax amount.
7% of $84 = 0.07 x $84 = $5.88
So the sales tax is $5.88.
To find the total amount after tax, we add the pre-tax amount and the sales tax:
$84 + $5.88 = $89.88
To leave a 20% tip based on the pre-tax amount, we need to multiply the pre-tax amount by 0.20:
20% of $84 = 0.20 x $84 = $16.80
So the total amount spent, including tax and tip, is:
$89.88 + $16.80 = $106.68
Therefore, the final amount of money you will spend is $106.68.
To find out how much money is left for the band to split, we need to subtract the manager's cut and the amount donated to charity from the total earnings.
First, let's calculate the manager's cut. If the manager takes 15% of the earnings for each show, we can find this amount by multiplying the earnings by 15% (or 0.15).
Manager's cut = $550 * 0.15 = $82.50
Next, let's calculate the amount donated to charity. If the band donates 20% of the earnings, we can find this amount by multiplying the earnings by 20% (or 0.20).
Amount donated to charity = $550 * 0.20 = $110
Now, we can find the money left for the band to split by subtracting the manager's cut and the amount donated to charity from the total earnings.
Money left for the band = Total earnings - Manager's cut - Amount donated to charity
= $550 - $82.50 - $110
= $357.50
Therefore, the band is left with $357.50 to split among themselves.
