Answer:

$34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of meal without discount

Given.

Sarah gave her customers a 15% discount, that is equal to [tex]x\times\frac{15}{100} =0.15x[/tex]

And discounted amount of meal is given, that is $28.90

The equation of discounted amount of meal is

[tex]28.90=x-0.15x\\28.90=0.85x\\x=\frac{28.90}{0.85}\\x=34[/tex]

The amount of meal without discount is $34
