Question

ANSWER ANY OR BOTH! add explanation if you can (optional)

You choose to tip a taxi driver 20%. if the tip is $2.00, how much was the original cost of the ride?

A grocery store sign indicates that bananas are 3 for $1.50, and a sign by the oranges indicates that they are 5 for $3.00. Find the total cost of buying bananas and 4 oranges.

PLEASE ANSWER THANK YOU

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

1. To find the percentage of a number you would need to multiply it by 0. whatever the percent. In this case we are given the percentage and the tip amount, so we can find the original cost of the ride like this :

2 = 0.2 (x)

Multiply both sides by 10

20 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

10 = x

The original cost of the ride was $10

2. For this one we already know the cost of the 3 bananas so all we need to find is the cost of 4 oranges

Each orange = $3.00 / 5

= $0.6

For 4 oranges, it would be 0.6 x 4 = $2.4

Adding the price of 4 oranges and 3 bananas together....

2.4 + 1.5 = $3.9

The total cost of buying 3 bananas and 4 oranges is $3.9

Hope that helps! Best of luck <3
