Question

Andrea bought tacos from a food truck and left 25% tip of $2.00. What was the price of Andreas tacos, before tip?

Answer 1

$8

Explanation:

25% is .25, also known as 1/4. So if you think of it that way, $2 is 1/4 of the entire payment that was added to it. 2*4 is 8, so the price of the tacos was $8 before any tip was added. Andrea paid $10 in total if you include the tip.

Answer 2

Answer:

If 2.00$ is 25% multiply by 4 which would give you the original price of 8$, plus tip that’s 10$. However the answer is, Andreas tacos, before tip, were 8$.
