Let us say the original price of taco before tip was x dollars.
Percentage of tip given =25 %
Amount of tip given = $2
Now we can say that 25 % of total amount = 2 dollars.
Making an equation,
Now we have to solve for x, so dividing both sides by 0.25,
x= 8
Answer : The original price of tacos before tip was $8.
Answer:
$43.20
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the original purchase price, write a proportion and solve. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are set equal.
If the discount if 15% then you pay 85%.
To solve for y, cross multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction.
36.72(100) = 85y
3672= 85y
43.2 = y
