First you have to have the absolute value isolated so the 2 has to be divided. Then set up the two cases and solve.
<span>1. </span><span>Gaetano spent 37.80 dollars
including the tax for a pair of jeans
=> the tax is 8%, how much is the original cost of a pair of jeans?
=> 8% = 8/100
=> .08
Now, multiply .08 by 37.80 to get the 8% of 37.80
=> 37.80 x .08
=> 3.024 – this is the tax of a pair of jeans.
now, let’s subtract 3.024 by 37.80 to get the actual price of a pair of jeans.
=> 37.80 – 3.024
=> 34.776 – the original price of a pair of jeans without tax.

Tell me if the answer was true
Answer:
$18.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by working out 10%, that's easy:
15 ÷ 10 = 1.5
That means a 10% tip would be $1.50, so a 20% tip would be twice that amount:
1.50 x 2 = 3
A 20% tip is $3.00, and added on to the original $15.00, the total is $18.00
