PLS HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$60 was the price of Zoe's dinner, before sales tax and tip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax  + tips for dinner = 18.60

The sales tax rate is 11%, and she tipped 20%. Given that the sales tax does not apply to the tip, and the tip is based on the price of the dinner before sales tax. Let x be the original price

Sales tax = 11% * original price = 0.11 * x= 0.11x

Tips for dinner = 20% * original price = 0.20 * x = 0.2x

We know Sales tax  + tips for dinner = 18.60

0.11x + 0.2x = 18.60

0.31x = 18.60

Divide by 0.31 on both sides

x = 60

Tips for dinner = 20% * original price = 0.20 * x = 0.2x

We know Sales tax  + tips for dinner = 18.60

0.11x + 0.2x = 18.60

0.31x = 18.60

Divide by 0.31 on both sides
