Answer 1

Answer:  If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is $147.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the customer's total amount.

It is given that 15% of the customer's total = $22.05

⇒15% of x= $22.05

$\Rightarrow0.15x=\ 22.05\\\\\text{Divide 0.15 on both sides, we get}\22.05\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{22.05}{0.15}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\ 147$

Therefore, If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is $147.

Answer 2

Let the customer's total = x

x*15/100 = 22.05

x*15 = 2205

x= 2205/15

x = 147

So, the customer's total would be $147
