Problem: Complete the "Understand the problem," "Make a plan," and "Complete the plan" steps. The regular price of a 12 -cup programmable coffee maker is \(\$ 79.99\). The sale price is \(\$ 59.99\). Find the percent discount. Round to the nearest percent. Incorrect Answer: The unknown is the percent discount; \(P=\) percent discount. A word equation is percent decrease \(=\left(\frac{\text { decrease in price }}{\text { sale price }}\right)(100) \%\). $$ \begin{aligned} &P=\left(\frac{\$ 79.99-\$ 59.99}{\$ 59.99}\right)(100) \% \\ &P=33 \% \text { decrease } \end{aligned} $$
A restaurant bill is \(\$ 65\). If the tip is \(20 \%\) of the bill, find the total cost of the meal including tip.
An employee works for 8 hours at \(\$ 9.25\) per hour. The employer withholds \(7.65 \%\) of his gross wages for Social Security and Medicare taxes. Find the amount of wages after with holding.
The intensity of \(\mathrm{X}\)-ray radiation depends on the distance from the source of radiation. If the distance from the source of radiation changes from \(D_{1}\) to \(D_{2}\), the intensity changes from intensity \(I_{1}\) to \(I_{2}\). The formula for finding the new intensity is \(I_{2}=\frac{I_{1} \cdot\left(D_{1}\right)^{2}}{\left(D_{2}\right)^{2}}\). When \(D_{1}\) is \(25 \mathrm{~m}\), the intensity \(I_{1}\) is 620 roentgen per hour. Find the intensity of radiation \(I_{2}\) if \(D_{2}\) is \(5 \mathrm{~m}\).
