A restaurant meal for a group of people cost $85 total. This amount included a 6% tax and an 18% tip, both based on the price of food. Which equation could be used to find f, the cost of the food?

The equation that should be used is
$85 = f + 6% + 18%

6% = $5.10
18% = $14.40

$5.10 + $14.40 = $19.50

$85 - $19.50 = 65.50

The cost of the food would have been around $65.50
