Question 430644: For large parties, many restaurants automatically add an 18% gratuity to the bill. If the total bill,
including gratuity is $163.43, what was the bill before adding the gratuity? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the bill after gratuity is $163.43, and the restaurant added 18%, then:
1(X)+18%(X)=163.43
(100%+18%)(X)=163.43
1.18X=""
X=163.43/1.18
X=138.5
The meal cost $138.50.
