Dave pays $15 and tax is $1.2 so dave spent a total of $16.20.
Mel pays $20 and tax is $1.6 so Mel spent a total of $21.60.
All you need to do is convert the percent to a decimal, so take 8 and divide by 100 and you get 0.08. then you need to multiply the cost by the tax so 15*0.08=1.2 then you just add tax to original amount 15+1.2=16.2

We define
, wich means Brand A has 1 oz containing 35% peanuts.
, wich means Brand b has 1 oz containing 25% peanuts.
So we can build an equiation system
(1) 
(2)
, after fixing it a little
(2)
As we can use any method to solve the system, I used a calculator wich thrown the following results
and
.
X^2 + x(x - 5) - x + 7
x^2 + x^2 - 5x - x + 7
2x^2 - 6x + 7
