Question:
Diners frequently add a 15% tip when charging a meal to a credit card. What is the price of the meal without the tip if the amount charged is $20.70? How much was the tip?
Answer:
Price of meal = $18
Tip price = $2.70
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of the meal be <em>y</em>;
Let the tip be <em>t</em>
<em></em>
<em>From the question;</em>
15% of <em>y </em>is the tip charge (<em>t</em>). i.e
t = 15%y
=> t = 0.15y --------(i)
<em>The total amount charged is $20.70 (This means that the sum of the price of the meal and the tip is $20.70)</em>
=> y + t = 20.70 [substitute the value of t=0.15y from equation (i)]
=> y + 0.15y = 20.70
=> 1.15y = 20.70
=> y =
=> y = $18
Therefore the price of the meal, y, is $18.
From equation (i),
t = 0.15y [substitute the value of y = $18]
t = 0.15(18)
t = $2.70
Therefore the tip was $2.70
