What is Algebra?

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

In order to determine the values, these symbols are also subjected to various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division arithmetic operations.

Given:

A tax of 5% is applied to the bill.

Zoe decides to leave a tip of 15% on the entire bill (including the tax).

let the bill cost $x.

So, the price after tax and tip

= x+ 5% of x+ 15% of x

= x + 0.05x + 0.15x

= x + 0.20x

= 1.2x

Hence, the expression in terms of x that represents the total amount that Zoe paid is 1.2x
