left a $1.50 tip. She spent a total of $54. Find the cost cof each salad.

Answer 1

Answer: The cost of the salad is $52.5per visitation but $210 after four visitations.

Step-by-step explanation: The total cost at the restaurant is $54, the tip is $1.50 we have to minus the tip from the total amount to get the cost of the salad.

Answer 2

Cost of each salad = $12

Explanation:

Olivia ate at the same restaurant four times. she ordered a salad and left a $1.50 tip on each visit. She spent a total amount of $54.

Let x be the cost of salad

She ate the salad four times. So the cost of 4 salad is 4x

Then she left a tip of 1.50 each visit. 4 times 1.50 = 6 dollars

Total cost is $54

cost of 4 salads + tip amount is equal to total cost

`4x+6= 54`

Solve for x

Subtract 6 from both sides

`4x= 48`

Divide both sides by 4

x=12

Cost of each salad = $12
