mitchell orders a plain turkey sandwich and a drink for lunch. the drink
is $2.95. instead he is served the super sandwich with lettuce, tomato,
and mayonnaise. the restaurant manager takes 15% off the price of the
sandwich. write an equation to determine the original price of mitchell's
sandwich if his new bill is $8.86.

$ 8.86  = $2.95 + 0.85 m

The above equation can be used to determine the original cost  m of the sandwich.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the cost of 1 drink = $2.95

The discount in the price of the sandwich  = 15%

The total bill of Mitchell  = $8.86

Let us assume the original cost of the turkey sandwich = $m

Now, the discount is always applied on the original price.

⇒ 15% of the original price = 15% of m =

So, the discount offered on the sandwich = 0.15 m

Reduced price of the Sandwich = Original Price - Discounted amount

                                                     = m - 0.15 m  = 0.85 m

Now, Total Bill = Cost of Drink + Reduced cost of sandwich

⇒ $ 8.86  = $2.95 + 0.85 m

Here, the equation   $ 8.86  = $2.95 + 0.85 m  can be used to determine the original cost  m of the sandwich.

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
