    Answer: You were charged $15.37 pre tax

    Restaurant will pay $1.23 in sales taxes

    Explanation:

    We are going to have to use our trusted friend Algebra to solve this one.

    In calculating the amount paid for the lunch without any taxes we will say that "x" is the amount that you paid without taxes. Putting it in an equation would be,

    16.60 = x * 1.08

    16.60 = 1.08x

    x = 16.60 / 1.08

    = 15.37

    You were charged $15.37 without taxes.

    To calculate how much the restaurant is to pay in taxes you can just subtract the post tax and pre tax figures which would be,

    = 16.6 - 15.37

    = $1.23

    Restaurant will pay $1.23 in taxes.
