Let us say the original price of taco before tip was x dollars.

Percentage of tip given =25 %

Amount of tip given = $2

Now we can say that 25 % of total amount = 2 dollars.

Making an equation,


0.25x =2

Now we have to solve for x, so dividing both sides by 0.25,

x= 8

Answer : The original price of tacos before tip was $8.
