Sales tax = 5%
Sales Tax = $2
⇒ 5% is equal to $2

------------------------------------------------------------
Find 1%:
------------------------------------------------------------
5% = $2
1% = $2 ÷ 5
1% = $0.40

------------------------------------------------------------
Find 100% (Cost of the meal):
------------------------------------------------------------
100% = $0.40 x 100
100% = $40

------------------------------------------------------------
Find tips:
------------------------------------------------------------
15% tips = 15% x $40
15% tips = 0.15 x 40
15% tips = $6

------------------------------------------------------------
Find total cost:
------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost = $40 + $2 + $6 = $48

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: $48
