Question

Amelia and 2 of her friends went out to lunch. Each girl ordered exactly the same meal. The total cost was $55.08,which included an 8% tax. What was the price of each meal,not including tax?

Answer 1

Possibly $16.89 because you multiply 55.08 and .08 to find 4.41 then you subtract that to 55.08 to find the total cost without tax which is 50.67. Then you divide by 3 because there are 3 girls to 16.89.
