Question

15. Olivia ate at the same restaurant four times. Each visit she ordered a salad and

left a $1.50 tip. She spent a total of $54. Find the cost c of each salad.

Answer 1

$12

Explanation:

First you multiply the amount of times shew went (4) by the amount of tip she left (1.50). You would get $6. Then you subtract that by the total amount (54) and you would get $48. Then you have to divide the total left over cost by the amount of times you went, and you get $12. $12 would be the amount per salad.

C = 54 - ( 1.50 x 4 ) / 4
