Cost of meal before tip + 15% = $99.50

Adding 15% is equal to multiplying by 1.15

Cost of meal before tip x 1.15 = 99.5

This can be rearranged to give;

Cost of meal before tip           = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

Cost of meal before tip          = $86.52

each meal was $9.95 a peice aND EACH HAD TO pay $1.50 on the tip
