Question

A meal cost $18.50 at a restaurant, including the 9% tax and the 20% tip.

What was the original cost of the meal?

Answer 1

The original price of the meal was $13.47 because 20% of 18.50 is 3.7 you subtract it from 18.50 and then you get 14.8 then you do 9% of 14.8 and get 1.332 and subtract that from 14.8 and get 13.468 and round to the nearest hundred.
