Question

Ravi buys lunch at a restaurant.

An 8% sales tax is added, and he tips the waiter 20% of the cost of the food.

Ravi pays a total of $17.92 for his lunch, including tax and tip.

What is the price of Ravi's lunch, before tax and tip?

Answer 1

The price of Ravi's lunch, before tax and tip was added to the total cost of the meal is $13.19.

What is the price of the lunch?

Both the tax and the tip paid would increase the cost of the meal. Thus, their dollar value has to be subtracted from the total amount he pays.

Value of the lunch after the tip has been removed = (1 - 0.2) x 17.92 = $14.34

Value of the lunch after the tax has been removed = (1 - 0.08) x $14.34 = $13.19
