After a lady is seated in a restaurant, she realizes that she only has $28.00.
If she must pay 7% sales tax and wishes to leave a 10% tip on the total bill (meal plus tax), what is the maximum price of the lunch she can order?
:
let x = the price of the lunch
lunch + tax + tip = 28
x + .07x + .10(x+.07x) = 28
1.07x + .1x +.007x = 28
1.177x = 28
x = 28/1.177
x = $23.79 max lunch cost
:
:
Check: 1.07(28.79)*1.1 = 28.00
