Let x = the cost of the meal before the tip.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.15%28x%29+=+4.65\"$ 15% (0.15) of the cost of the meal (x) is $4.65
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+4.65%2F0.15\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+31\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of the meal before the tip was $31.00 \n" ); document.write( "
