A student who waits tables at a restaurant recorded the cost of meals and the tip left by single diners.
It has a table with meal cost listed and tip left amounts.
The cost of meals are labeled as the x variable. The tip is listed as the y variable.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A student who waits tables at a restaurant recorded the cost of meals and the tip left by single diners.
It has a table with meal cost listed and tip left amounts.
The cost of meals are labeled as the x variable. The tip is listed as the y variable.
She then has to solve for a given amount the tip that would be left.
:
Are they assuming the amt of the tip is 10% of the cost of the meal?
If so the equation would just be
y = .10x
