Need hep teaching my daughter. Janet went to Resturant and left 20% tip. If tip was $3.20 how much was meal? Solve with equation

The meal was $16.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

since the equation for finding the tip is: decimal of percent times total bill, what you want to do is isolate the bill. you do this by dividing both sides by percent and your equation is total cost = tip/percent

let's say our total equation is x.

x=3.20/0.2

x=16

Now check your work.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
