Hi pupil here's your answer ::

_____________________________

Your question (Talia gave her hairdresser a 20 percent tip, which amounted to $7.
What was the price of the service before the tip?) Well The answer is 35 dollars

see below how ?::

@let the real amount be x
@now the amount of 20%of tip is given 7$
@we can put method , when we know that 1% is = 1/100 × a particular amount
@So, let's us use it = 20/100×x=7

●20/100×x=7

●x=7×100/20

●x=7×5

●x=35$

Hence, The answer is 35$
