Charles went to a restaurant for dinner and paid a tip of 15% on the total bill amount. he then had an ice cream that cost $13 less than the total restaurant bill excluding the tip.
if he spent $43 in all, how much was the total restaurant bill excluding the tip?
a.
$13.95
b.
$26.05
c.
$48.69
d.
$24.89

B. $26.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this was a multiple choice question, I used process of elimination. I got rid of A because $13.95 - the ice cream ($13) would be no where near $43. For B, i did ($26.05) + ($26.05 - $13) which equals $39.10 and then i did ($39.10 + ($26.06 x 0.15) and that gave me $43 in all.

step-by-step explanation:

42
