Write an algebraic expression

You give an 18% tip for a meal. What expression represents the total cost with tip?

Let m = the cost of the meal 

y is the total cost

y = m + 0.18m 

y = m(1 + 0.18)

y = 1.18m

Write an algebraic expression

A pair of shoes sells for 1/4 off. What expression represents the total cost after the discount?

Let s = the original cost of the shoes ; y = total cost

y= s -1/4s 

y= s(1 − 1/4 )

y =  3/4s
