Answer:

The meal must cost less than or equal to 19.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of the mean

First find the tax

tax = x* 5.5%

     =.055x

Then find the tip

tip = x * 20%

tip = .20x

Add the total cost together

total cost = meal + tax + tip

               =x + .055x + .20x

              =1.255x

This must be less than or equal to 25

1.255x ≤ 25

Divide each side by 1.255

1.255x/1.255 ≤ 25/1.255

x ≤ 19.92
