Answer: The price of Andrea's tacos is $8.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

  • Tip amount: $2.0
  • Percentage: 25% = 0.25 (decimal form, 25/100=0.25)

So, if we multiply the taco's price (x) by the percentage (0.25) we will obtain the amount of the tip (2).

Mathematically speaking:

x (0.25) = 2

Solving for x

x = 2/0.25

x = 8

The price of Andrea's tacos is $8.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
