Answer:
$18
Explanation:
I multiply the tax by the pretax price of the meal, and I get 8% * x
I multiply the tip by the pretax price of the meal, and I get 20% * x
I make an equation, and make sure to add the original x
2/25x + 1/5x + x=23.04
32/25x=23.04
x=18
Therefore, the pretax price of the meal is $18
