Michael just finished a great meal in a restaurant in wisconsin. the sales tax in wisconsin is 5%, percent, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15%, percent for the waiter. the tip amount is calculated on the price of the meal before the tax is applied. sales tax is not calculated on tips. if michael left $18 on the table to cover his meal, tax, and tip, what was the price of his meal before tax and tip?

i found two solutions,   n = 2 • ± √3 = ± 3.4641

step-by-step explanation:

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
