the final bill was 61.72 dollars including a 18% tip what was the original price

Answer 1

To find the original price, we can use the formula:

Original price + 18% of original price = Final bill

Let x be the original price.

Then we have:

x + 0.18x = 61.72

Simplifying the left side:

1.18x = 61.72

Dividing both sides by 1.18:

x = 52

Therefore, the original price was 52 dollars.
