Question

Olivia ate at the same restaurant four times. Each visit she ordered a salad and left a $1.50 tip. She spent a total of $54. Find the cost
`c` of each salad.

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

To find this, we:

1.50 x 4 = 6

This is how much she spent on tips. We can subtract this from the total.

$54 - 6 = $48

-

Now, since she ordered 4 salads in total (we are told this), we divide by 4.

-

48 / 4 = 12

-

Each salad cost $12

Hope this helps!
