Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Option 3:
Let the net price excluding the gratuity of service = x pounds
Then. total price including 15% gratuity of service = x + 0.15 x = 1.15 x pounds.
So. 1.15 x = 207 pounds
. => x = 207 / 1.15 = 180 pounds
Net price of lunch for each person = 180 / 15 = 12 pounds
