you have lunch at an italian restaurant. the cost of lunch before tax is $12.50. the sales tax rate is 7%. you leave a 20% tip on the pre-tax amount. what is the total you spend on lunch, including tax and tip?

Well, first you should find how much they left for a tip.

Leaving a 20% tip would be 20% of 12.50.

This means that the tip was $2.50

The tax is 7%, so 7% of 12.50 to represent the tax is $0.88

12.50 + 2.50 + 0.88 = 15.88

THE ANSWER IS $15.88

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
