Question

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

Answer 1

Andrea paid $8 for the tacos before tip.

Explanation:

In order to find this, we take the amount of the tip and divide it by the tip percentage.

2/.25 = $8

Answer 2

Answer: The price of Andrea's tacos is $8.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

• Tip amount: $2.0
• Percentage: 25% = 0.25 (decimal form, 25/100=0.25)

So, if we multiply the taco's price (x) by the percentage (0.25) we will obtain the amount of the tip (2).

Mathematically speaking:

x (0.25) = 2

Solving for x

x = 2/0.25

x = 8

The price of Andrea's tacos is $8.
