Understanding the Tea Price Problem

What is the final price you pay for the tea after it has doubled and a 7% tax is applied?

• $20.00

• $15.00

• $12.50

• $10.00

What is the first step in modeling the problem of finding the original price of the tea?

• Guess the original price

• Ignore the tax

• Use a pseudo formula to represent the transactions

• Calculate the tax directly

What is the purpose of using a pseudo formula in this problem?

• To calculate the tax directly

• To avoid using algebra

• To visualize the financial transactions

• To guess the original price

In the context of this problem, what does the variable 'X' represent?

• The doubled price of the tea

• The final price of the tea

• The tax amount

• The original price of the tea

What operation is performed to account for the doubling of the tea's price?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication by two

• Division by two

How do you convert a percentage to a decimal for calculation purposes?

• Multiply by 10

• Multiply by 100

• Divide by 10

• Divide by 100

What is the role of the 7% in the problem?

• It is the tax applied to the doubled price

• It is the discount on the tea

• It is the final price of the tea

• It is the original price of the tea

What is the approximate original price of the tea before it doubled and tax was applied?

• $5.84

• $8.00

• $6.00

• $7.00

Why is it important to verify the solution after solving the equation?

• To avoid using algebra

• To change the original problem

• To ensure the solution is correct

• To find a new solution

What is the final step in solving for the original price of the tea?

• Multiplying the total by 2.14

• Dividing the total by 2.14

• Subtracting the tax from the total

• Adding the tax to the doubled price
