Answer:

One taco costs $3.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of taco

You order 2 tacos: 2x

You add a salad: 2x + 2.5

You pay 8% sales tax on 2x + 2.5, so you pay 1.08(2x + 2.5)

You leave a $3 tip, so the total you pay is: 1.08(2x + 2.5) + 3

The total you pay is $13.80

1.08(2x + 2.5) + 3 = 13.80

Subtract 3 from both sides.

1.08(2x + 2.5) = 10.8

Divide both sides by 1.08

2x + 2.5 = 10

Subtract 2.5 from both sides.

2x = 7.5

x = 3.75

One taco costs $3.75.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

It was an exponential increase

In 3 months, the bill will be $285.61

Step-by-step explanation:

First, this scenario is exponential, because the price of food is increasing with a percentage, based on the price that it was the previous amount.

Next, to find what the bill will be in 3 months, an equation needs to be made representing the situation.

Use the standard exponential equation: y = ab^x, where a is the initial amount, b is the growth rate, and x is the amount of time.

Plug in the values we know:

y = 130(1.3)^3

Solve for y

y = 285.61

So, 3 months later, the bill will be $285.61
