Question

Heidi left a 22% tip of $8.14 on a meal. What was the cost of the meal before the tip? What was the cost of the meal including the tip?

Answer 1

someone please help!

Answer 2

So you know that 0.22x = 8.14.

Solve for x.

x = 8.14/0.22
x = 37

The initial cost of the meal was $37.00.

Simply find the value of 1.22x to find the total cost of the meal and its tip.

1.22x = ___
1.22(37) = ___
1.22(37) = 45.14

The total cost of the meal with tip is $45.14.
