So, I'm not a genius lol, but I learned this earlier this year. Here's a hint. You need to do ___ = __5%__

34.02

I hope this is helpful. Good luck!

Explanation:

Answer 2

34.02 = Cost x 1.05

Cost = 34.02 /1.05

Cost = 32.40

Check:

32.40 x 5/100 = 1.62

32.40 + 1.62 = 34.02

Portion of the Bill = 34.02 / 3

Portion of the Bill = 11.34
