Question

Lily bought tacos from a food truck and left 26% top of 2.00. What was the price of Lily’s tacos before the tip?

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.69

Step-by-step explanation:

From a food truck, Lily bought tacos and left a 26% tip which is equal to $2.00.

So, if the price of Lily's tacos before the tip is $x, then 26% of $x was the tip i.e. $2.00.

Therefore, if 26% of x is equivalent to $2.00

Then 100% of x is equivalent to $\frac{2 \times 100}{26} = 7.69$ dollars.

Hence, the price of Lily's tacos before the tip is $7.69 (Answer)
