Question 401830: The question I'm having trouble solving is: Anne took three friends out to dinner and paid a total bill of $54.30, which included 6% in taxes and a 15% tip (on the cost of the meals). What was the cost of the meals before tax and tip? I understand that you will have to multiply 54.30 by something in relationship with the 15% and the 6% but I'm stuck on which number it is that I should multiply 54.30 by. All help is appreciated! Thank you. Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
