The total bill at a restaurant was $58.25 and included a $12 tip for the server. what was the average spent per person prior to the tip if there were 3 people at the dinner?

Let x = cost of bill prior to tip

So, we know that before a tip was paid that the cost of the meal was $46.25. If there were three people at the dinner and we are trying to find the average spent prior to the tip, we can just divide.

Let a = average each person spent

On average, prior to the bill, each person paid approximately $15.42.

answer:   expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
