Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let price of meal be 'x'

total price : $12.48

15% tip = 15x/100 = 3x/20

$0.52 S.T

 .

.    .   x + 3x/20 + $ 0.52 = $12.48

       -->  x + 3x/20 = $ 11.96

       -->  (20x + 3x) / 20 = $11.96

       -->   23x/20 = $11.96

       -->   x = $10.4

price of meal was $10.4 ans.
