    To answer this question you can set up an equation that represents the total amount of the bill plus the tip.

    115%x = $31.05 (where x is the amount before the tip)

    1.15x = 31.05; divide both sides

    by 1.15

    x = $27

    $31.05 - $27 = $4.05

    The price of the meal was $27, and the tip was $4.05.
