Question 566889: Hello, I need help with this question. It says: "After Valerie is seated in a restaurant, she realizes that she only has $20. If she must pay 7% sales tax and wishes to leave a 15% tip on the total bill (meal plus tax) what is the maximum price of lunch she can order?" I've tried several ways to solve this, but never get the right answer. I've tried to add .15 to .07 and equal it to 20 for example

20*.07= 1.4
so 20+1.4= $21.40
20*.15= 3
so20+3= $23+1.40= $24.40
