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?
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}
