Tim spent $50.00 on Chinese take-out. 80% of the cost went to 4 entrees. The rest of the money went to 2 appetizers that each cost the same amount. How much was the price of a single appetizer?
A step-by-step solution is:
5
He spent $50.

00 and 80% of the meal went to entrees so he spent 50 *.

80 = $40.

00 on entrees.

He spent $50.

00 and $40.

00 went to entrees so that leaves $50 - $40 = $10.

00 for appetizers.

Each appetizer costs the same amount and he spent $10.

00 all together so each appetizer is $10 / 2 = $5.

00.

.

The answer is 5
