Robs lunch cost is unknown = x

and we know carla's cost 15  = 15

x + 15 = total lunch cost

now me know 20% is 6

so 20% of total lunch cost is 6

or

(x+15)(.02)  which is 20% of lunch and this is 6

or

(x+15)(.02) = 6  this is the equation to find x

this is the answer, but for kicks lets solve it to to find the cost

.2x + 3 = 6

     - 3    -3  

.2x  = 3

/.2     /.2

x = 15

Robs lunch cost $15 too
