Answer:
$16.8912
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Amelia and her two friends went out to lunch.
If each girl ordered exactly the same meal.
We have to find out the value of price of each meal without tax.
Total cost of meals=$55.08
Cost of 3 meals with tax=$55.08
Sales tax=8% of $55.08
8% of 55.08=[tex]\frac{8}{100}\times55.08[/tex]
8% of 55.08= $4.4064
Cost of 3 meals without tax=$55.08-$4.4064=$50.6736
Cost of each meal=[tex]\frac{50.6736}{3}=[/tex]$16.8912
Hence, the cost of each meal without tax=$16.8912
