A student who waits tables at a restaurant recorded the cost of meals and the tip left by single diners.
\n" ); document.write( "It has a table with meal cost listed and tip left amounts.
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of meals are labeled as the x variable. The tip is listed as the y variable.
\n" ); document.write( "She then has to solve for a given amount the tip that would be left.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Are they assuming the amt of the tip is 10% of the cost of the meal?
\n" ); document.write( "If so the equation would just be
\n" ); document.write( "y = .10x \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
