Answer 2

Answer

Find out the cost of the dinner .

To proof

Let us assume that the cost of the dinner be x.

As given

The Silver Town people went to a fancy restaurant after the big event.

Grammy gave the server a $15 tip.

If the tip was 20% of the cost of dinner.

20% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{20}{100}$

= 0.2

Than the equation becomes

x× 0.2 = 15

$x = \frac{15}{0.2}$

x =$75

The total cost of the dinner is $75 .

option (C) is correct .

Hence proved
