The Total Was $29.00 after adding a $4.00 tip to the bill for a family of five each of whom ordered a hotdog. What Was The Price of the hotdogs

Question

Answers 

• 4-5x=29; $5.00
• 4+5x=29; $5.00
• 29-5x=4; $5.00
• 5x=29=4; $5.00

Answer 1

The 3rd choice is correct:

 

      29-5x = 4

 

       -4 + 5x    -4   +5x

 

      25 = 5x

 

    Re-write as:  5x = 25

 

     To solve for 'x', the price for each hot dog, divide out both side by 5, to get:

 

      x = 5

 

      So, $5.00/hot dog
