Given the statement:
Anna’s family had a party. Food bill was $214.58. The tip was found by multiplying the food bill by 0.18.
Determine the cost before the tip.
Solution:
The answer can be found by using the equation.
x + 0.18x = 214.58
x = total cost
solve for x.
1.18x= 214.58
1.18x/1.18= 214.58/1.18
x = $181.84
Final answer:
The food bill is $181.84.
