Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is determining what operation we are going to use.

Think:we know that the tip is going to be  of .  The keyword "of" gives us a clue and indicates that we are going to multiply.

The server's tip will be 

Example Question #2 : The Real And Complex Number Systems

Next, we have  which means we need to move  places to the right on the number line. When we have an addition sign   we move to the right because that is towards the positive side of the number line. When we have a subtraction sign  we move to the left because that is towards the negative side of the number line.

Possible Answers:

Yes, 

Yes, 

No

Yes, 

Correct answer:

Yes, 

Explanation:

In order to determine whether or not the table shows a direct proportion, we will divide the quantities in the  coordinate column by the quantities in the  coordinate column. In order for the table to show direct proportion, each quotient should be the same value. 

In this example, each quotient is the same value; therefore, this table does show direct proportion.
