Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75
