You order two tacos and a salad. The salad costs $2.50. You pay 6% sales tax and leave a $3 tip. You pay a total of $13.60. How much does one taco cost?

Question

A) $3.00
B) $3.20
C) $3.40
D) $3.60

Answer 1

Let x be the cost of one taco.

The total cost of the tacos is 2x.
The total cost of the meal before tax and tip is 2x + 2.50.
The tax is (6/100)(2x + 2.50).
The tip is 3.
So 2x + 2.50 + (6/100)(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.60.

Multiplying through the parentheses, we get 2x + 2.50 + 0.12x + 0.12(2.50) + 3 = 13.60.
Combining like terms, we get 2x + 2.50 + 0.12x + 0.30 + 3 = 13.60.
Combining like terms again, we get 2.12x + 5.80 = 13.60.
Subtracting 5.80 from both sides, we get 2.12x = 7.80.
Dividing both sides by 2.12, we get x = 3.68.

So one taco costs $3.68, which is closest to $3.70.

C) $3.40
