c) T = 40 + 40(0.15) d) T = 40 – 40(0.15)
25E. Susan and Brian went out for dinner at Olive Garden. The bill was $35. Susan left a 20% tip. Using ‘T’ as the total of the bill and the tip, write an algebraic equation that describes this transaction.
a) T = 35 + 35(0.20) b) T = 35(0.20)
c) T = 35 ¸ (0.20) d) T = 35 – 35(0.20)
25F. Donald and Rose went out for dinner at Disney. The bill was $130. Donald, a big spender, left a 25% tip. Using ‘T’ as the total of the bill and the tip, write an algebraic equation that describes this transaction.
a) T = 130(0.25) b) T = 130 + 130(0.25)
c) T = 130 – 130(0.25) d) T = 130 ¸ 0.25
