Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Work backward:
1. 2x + 23 = 30
Start:
Multiply the equation by 2:
Subtract 30 from both sides
- 2x - 30 = 7 - 30
- 2x - 30 = -23
Add 23 and 30 to both sides:
2. 3x + 19.5 = 30
Start:
Add 6.5 to both sides:
Multiply by 3:
Distributive property:
3. (10x - 20)/ 5 = 3
Start:
Multiply by 10:
Subtract 20:
Divide by 5:
Answer:
$20.63 if you tip on the pre-tax amount
Step-by-step explanation:
You pay $12.99 for the pizza, plus the 8% tax on the pizza, plus the 20% tip of the cost of the pizza, so if you tip on the pre-tax amount, you pay
$12.99(0.08) = $1.04 in sales tax
$12.99(0.2) = $2.60 for the tip
and $4 delivery charge,
so you pay a total of
$12.99 + $1.04 + $2.60 + $4 = $20.63
