Question

Three friends ate dinner at a restaurant. The friends decided to add a 15% tip and then split the bill evenly. Each friend paid $10.35. The total for dinner before the tip was $_______

Answer 1

Well the all paid 10.35×3=31.05 with the tip. The tip is 35.05/100×15=4.6575. To know how much they paid without the tip you just 31.05-4.6575=26.39
