Answer 1

$28.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original tab cost.

We can go ahead and solve for x as seen below;

`\begin{gathered} 17\text{\% of }x=4.80 \\ (17)/(100)* x=4.80 \\ 17x=480 \\ x=(480)/(17) \\ x=28.24 \end{gathered}`

We can see from the above that the original tab was $28.24
