Chad and Eric left a 20% tip after having lunch at a restaurant. Chad's lunch cost $10. Which equation can you use to find x, the cost of Eric's lunch?

Group of answer choices

A) 0.2(x + 10) = 5

B) 0.2x = 10 + 5

C) 0.2x + 5 = 10

D) 0.2x + 10 = 5

The equation used to find x, the cost of Eric's lunch is

Option A is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chad and Eric left a 20% tip after having lunch at a restaurant.

Cost of Chad Lunch = $10

Let Cost of Eric's lunch = x

So, Total cost of Chad and Eric's Lunch = x+10

Now, they left a 20% tip

it means 20% of total cost of lunch

20% can be written as 0.2

So, 0.2 of total cost of lunch is tip of the meal

We can write: 0.2 of (x+10)

or 0.2(x+10)

Looking at options, considering $5 was the amount of tip, the final equation will be:

So, the equation used to find x, the cost of Eric's lunch is

Option A is correct option.

47.28 or 47.2857143

step-by-step explanation:

you just divide 331 by 7 and you get that answer. ( i think so tho)

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
