So whenever i go to a restaurant, i know that the original amount i pay for, plus the tip will be my total amount that i pay for.
00:08
So let's say i paid $27 and $32 for the original amount.
00:14
The tip is a percent of the total.
00:20
So whatever the percent is, so maybe the percent, let's call it x of the total times 27 .32.
00:27
This is going to ultimately equal 32 .24.
00:36
So what is my percent going to be? well, first thing i'm going to do is i have an equation.
00:42
I'm going to just solve for x.
00:44
Okay, so opposite of adding $27 is subtracting $37 of both sides, right? whatever do to one side, i do to the other.
00:53
To keep the balance and i do the opposite operation...
