Question

Mira has breakfast at a restaurant. She leaves a 20% tip of $1.80

What is the price of Mira's breakfast, before tip?

Answer 1

Let x be the price of the breakfast.

We know that 20 percent of x is 1.80

Let's write this as a mathematical equation

0.2 x = 1.8

Let's divide both sides by 0.2 to isolate the x

x = 1.8 / 0.2

= 9

The price of the breakfast was $9.

Have an awesome day! :)
