Question

11. The expression 60(1 + ) represents the total bill including the tip. What do the different parts of the expression represent? Match each expression to the correct description.
1) Cost of meal _____ a) x
2) Tip Percentage _____ b) (1 + x)
3) Number of Friends _____ c) 60

Answer 1

Its given that the total bill = 60(1 + x)

                                          = 60 + 60x

So, its clear that the cost of meal is 60 and the percentage of tips is x.

Also, number of friends = (total cost/cost per meal)

                                       $=\frac{60(1+x)}{60}$

                                        = 1 + x

Hence, the correct match is:

1) - c)

2) - a)

3) - b)
