How much was the original bill?

Answer 1

I really don't get it

Answer 2

11 dollars and 25 cents

Answer 3

see $45 includes the tip and the bill..so lets say ur bill is 100% and ur tip is 25%...so we get an equation that $45 is 125% of ur original bill...

Answer 4

to write in equations...125% is writtten as 5/4....so 45=5/4*(Original bill)
