4.34 on a meal. What was the cost of the meal before the tip? What was the total cost of the meal including the tip?

she left a tip of 4.34 which was 14% of the cost of the meal.
let x equal the cost of the meal.
then .14 * x = 4.34.
solve for x to get x = 4.34 / .14 = 31.
that's the original cost of the meal.
add the 14% tip and she paid a total of 31 + .14 * 31 = 31 + 4.34 = 35.34.
