Answer:

$18

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. I multiply the tax by the pretax price of the meal, and I get 8% * x
  2. I multiply the tip by the pretax price of the meal, and I get 20% * x
  3. I make an equation, and make sure to add the original x
  4. 2/25x + 1/5x + x=23.04
  5. 32/25x=23.04
  6. x=18
  7. Therefore, the pretax price of the meal is $18
