Andrea bought tacos from a food truck and left at 25% tip at two dollars. What was the price of Andrea‘s tacos before tipping?

Answer 1

Say the tacos cost X dollars before tip. With tip, they would cost X + .25X = 1.25X. Since we know the tip was 2 dollars:

1.25X = 2

x = 2/1.25 = 1.6

$1.60 before tip.
