a question for math (word problem)!
Post Body
In a certain state, schools pay 2% tax on food and 8% stationery. A school placed a combined order of $500 on food and stationery and paid $19 on tax the order. How much of that money was spent on food?
So, Let x be the price of food let 500-x be the price of stationery. and i got the right answer just using the algebraically equations.
However, if i say let x be the price of stationery and 500-x be the price of food, i do not get the same answer.
Thanks for your help!
