The price of lunch for 15 people was $207.00,including a 15 percent gratuity for service. What was the average price per person, EXCLUDING the gratuity?

Respuesta :

Answer: $11.73

Explanation:

Given

Price for lunch of 15 persons +15% gratuity=$207.00

15% of $207.00

=15/100 × $207.00

= 0.15×$207.00

=$31.05

Total - 15% gratuity

=$207.00-$31.05

=$175.95

The cost of lunch of each person

= $175.95/15

=$11.73

Answer:

$12 per person

Explanation:

total price including gratuity or tip = $207

since the tip = 15%, then price + 15% = $207

115%price = $207

price = $180

tip = $27

if 15 people ate lunch, then the price per lunch = $180 / 15 people = $12 per person
