Otis has a salad for $4.50, a sandwich for $6.25, and a drink. The tax for the entire meal was $0.54. What is the price of the drink if meal tax is 4.5%

The price of the drink is $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Otis has a salad for $4.50, a sandwich for $6.25, and a drink. The tax for the entire meal was $0.54.

The meal tax is 4.5%.

Now, to find the price of the drink.

Let the price of the drink be

Price of salad = $4.50.

Price of sandwich = $6.25.

So, to get the total price of the entire meal:

The tax for the entire meal was $0.54.

The meal tax = 4.5%.

Now, to get the price of the drink:

Dividing both sides by 0.045 we get:

Subtracting both sides by 10.75 we get:

Therefore, the price of the drink is $1.25.

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
