The Jackson's dinner cost $125. They left $21.25 as a tip. What was the percentage of the tip? Please explain and help me! THANK YOU!!!

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the percentage of something, you have to fill out the following formula:

x/100 = 21.25/125. Basically that is saying that some percent out of 100 is equal to 21.25 out of 125. To solve that, you have to cross multiply:

125x = 2125

then you have to divide, to single out x:

the answer is 17

so it is 17%

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
