Question

Brad and Don went to the mall together. Brad spent $18 on food. Don spent twice the amount of money that Brad spent.

Answer 1

Answer:

a). x=18x2

        18x2=36

Don spent 36 dollars.

b). x=36x0.3

        36x0.3=10.8

Brad's sister spent 10 dollars and 80 cents.

c). 36+18=54

1.0-0.13 = 0.87

54x0.87=46.98

54-46.98=7.02

Don and Brad paid 7 dollars and 2 cents in tax.
