Q:
amelia and 2 of her friends went out to lunch. each girl ordered exactly the same meal. the total cost 55.08, which included 8% sales tax. what was the price of each meal, not including tax?
Accepted Solution
A:
Cost of the meal with tax = 108% = $55.08
108% = 55.08
1% = 55.08 ÷ 108 = $0.51
100% = $51
3 meals = $51
1 meal = $51 ÷ 3 = $17
Answer: $17
