Question

Michael just finished a great meal in a restaurant in Wisconsin. The sales tax in Wisconsin is 5%, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15% for the waiter. The tip amount is calculated on the price of the meal before the tax is applied. Sales tax is not calculated on tips.
If Michael left $18 on the table to cover his meal, tax, and tip, what was the price of his meal before tax and tip?

Answer 1

Ok, so the whole thing is $18. So what is 5% of 18? To find that, multiply 0.05 x 18.

Answer 2

$14.53

Answer 3

That's why you don't trust direct answers.

Answer 7

Ok, so you found 5% of 18. Now find 15% of 18. You can get that by multiplying 0.15 x 18.
