Answer:

65.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

After eating a meal at a restaurant, we decided to tip 25%, building a grand total of $87.50.

To find:

Price before tip

Solution:

87.50 × 25% = 21.875

~Round~: 21.875 to 21.88

87.50 - 21 .88 = 65.62

Thus the price before the tip is 65.62

Check Answer:

Formula: Higher number - Lower number ÷ original number × 100

Solve:

87.50 - 65.62 = 21.88

21.88 ÷ 87.50=0.25005714285

0.25005714285 × 100 = 25.0057142857
