Answer 1

Question:

Andrea bought tacos from a food truck and left a 25% tip of $2.00. What was the price of Andrea's tacos, before tip?

Answer:

$8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Tips = 25%

Tips = $2.00

Find the price of the taco:

25% = $2.00

1% = 2 ÷ 25 = $ 0.08

100% = 0.08 x 100 = $ 8.00

Answer: The taco costs $8.00

Answer 2

Answer:

Total Price = $ 8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Tip Left by Andrea = 25 % of total price                     (i)

Also     Tip left by her         = $ 2.00                                         (ii)

To Find: Total Price = ?  

As equation (i) and (ii) are same as tip left by andrea so equating R.H.S of both sides gives us

2.00 = 25 % of total price

which will be equal to

$2.00 = \frac{25}{100} * Total Price$

Mutliplying and dividing both sides by $\frac{100}{25}$ will gives us

$2.00*\frac{100}{25} = \frac{25}{100}*\frac{100}{25} * Total Price$

Total Price = $\frac{200}{25}$

Total Price = $ 8.00
