Question 792507
Let A represent the amount on money Paul has in his pocket. Paul and his girlfriend go out to dinner. They spend x dollars on food, pay 8% tax on the dinner check, and leave a 15% tip (not including tax). 
a.) Write a function relating the amour of money in Paul's pocket to the amount they spend on food for dinner. 
b.) If Paul has $46 in his pocket, what is the maximum amount they could spend on food for dinner?


A(D) = D + .08D + .15D ----- {{{highlight_green(A(D) = 1.23D)}}}


Amount they could spend for FOOD = {{{46/1.23}}}, or $37.39837398 ≈ ${{{highlight_green(37.40)}}}


You can do the check!!
