Solve Percent Problems, Part 3 - Instruction - Level G
Mrs. Henry hires a local moving company to help her move into her new apartment.
The price includes a 15% tip. Mrs. Henry's total bill is $414.
What is the price before tip, b, of
Mrs. Henry's move?

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
