Answer: The price of meal before the tip = $34.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The percentage of tip = 22% = 0.22 ( we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal)

Total amount paid ( including tip) =  $41.48

Formula for Total bill = Price of meal + Tip amount , where Tip amount= 22% of Price of meal.

Let x be the price of meal, then

Total bill =x + 0.22 x (x )

⇒ $41.48= x(1+0.22)  [ By distributive property]

⇒ $41.48 = x (1.22)

⇒ x= ($41.48) ÷ 1.22

⇒ x= 34

Hence, the price of your meal before you applied the tip = $34.
