well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.
now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"? the 100%.
so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.
but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.
now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?
