Question

The editors of a local

newspaper went to lunch to
celebrate birthdays. The
lunch costs $17.8.25 and they
left a 15% tip. What was the
cost of the meal?

Answer 1

$111.52

Explanation:

You have to divide your total amount by 1.15 and that will give you your answer. To check your work you can add your answer and 15% of your answer together. {111.52+(111.52x0.15)=128.25}
