Answer 1

1. Your total cost if 11.50 dollars.
It says that you ordered pancakes and a fruit cup
Pancake costs = x
Fruit cup cost = 1.50 dollars
you leave a tip = 15%

The equation would be:
=> (1.50 + x) .15 = 11.50 dollars
=> x = 11.50 – 1.50 x .15
=> Now, let’s find the cost of the pancake
=> 11.50 - 1.50 fruit cake = 10
=> 10 x .15 tip = 8.5
Thus, the price of the pancake is 8.5
