Question

You take a cab to Madison Square Garden. The final bill of $61. 72 included an 18% tip for the driver. What was he original bill?

Answer 1

$52.31

Explanation:

61.72 includes the 18% tip. 61.72 = (100 + 18)% = 118%.

1% = 61.72/118

100% = 100 X (61.72/118 ) = 52.31.

so the original bill was $52.31 (to nearest cent)
