you order 2 servings of pancakes and 1 fruit cup. the fruit cup is $1.50, you leave a 15% tip. the total bill is $11.50. how much does one serving of pancakes cost?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the cost of a serving of pancakes, then we have:


11.50 = 2x + 1.50 + 0.15(2x + 1.50)

solving for 'x' we have x=4.25


a serving of pancakes cost $4.25
