Question 502227
Raul paid a total of $26.40 for a meal.
 This total included a 20% tip.
 How much was the cost of the meal?
:
Let m = cost of the meal
:
Meal + tax = 26.40
m + .20m = 26.40
1.2m = 26.40
m = {{{26.40/1.2}}}
m = $22 for the meal
:
:
Check this
meal alone cost = 22
tip cost: .2(22) = 4.40
--------------------------
total, meal & tip 26.40
