The price of lunch for 15 people was 207 pounds, including a 15 percent gratuity of service. What was the average price per person, EXCLUDING the gratuity?

• 15% of 207 = 15/100*207
  = 31.05
  Total price excluding gratuity service=207-31.05
  =175.95
  Avg price per person=175.95/15
  =11.73

  Thus, Total price is 115%
  So,Price excluding gratuity=(207/115)*100=20700/115
  Average price per person (20700/115)*1/15=12pounds

• Let ‘x’ pounds be the net price of lunch for 15 people. Including the 15% gratuity
  
  The total price becomes -> x + 0.15x -> 1.15x pounds. This is equivalent to 207 pounds.
  
  Hence ‘x’ is equal to 207/1.15 -> 180 pounds
  
  Hence the average prices for each person -> 180/15 -> 12 pounds.
