The as-served cost of a kid's dinner special is $2.25. If the restaurant uses a target cost percentage of 35%, what is the target price of the kid's dinner special?

$3.0375

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of dinner = $2.25

If cost percentage of 35%, then the additional cost paid will be;

35% * 2.25

= 0.35 * 2.25

= $0.7875

Target price = Original price + additional cost

Target price = $2.25 + $0.7875

Target price = $3.0375

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
