URGENT!!!! The coleman family had their bill at a resturant reduced by $7.50 because of a special discount. They left a tip of $8.90 which was 20% of the reduced amount. Using x to represent the original bill write an algebraic equation and solve it to find the cost of their bill before the discount. SHOW ALL WORK PLEASE.

I believe it is right ($52.00) but this could be wrong sorry

$8.90×20%

$8.90÷.20=44.5

discounted price:$44.5

44.5+$7.50=$52.00

original price without discount:$52.00

hopefully this helped:)|:)|:)|
