Answer:
$46.8308
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original amount of the bill be x
The amount owned = $49.82(including a tip of 6%)
To get the original before tip was added, we will use the expression;
x = $49.82-(6% of $49.82)
x = $49.82 - (0.06 * 49.82)
x = $49.82 - 2.9892
x = $46.8308
Hence the bill before the tax was added is $46.8308
