john and jane went out for a dinner and they ordered the same dish . both used a 10 % discount coupon . john paid a 15 % tip over the original price of the dish , while jane paid the tip over the discounted price for the coupon . if john paid $ 0.54 more than jane , what was the original price of the dish ?
"the difference between the amounts john paid and jane paid is the deference between 15 % of p and 15 % of 0.9 p : 0.15 p - 0.15 * 0.9 p = 0.54 - - > 15 p - 13.5 p = 54 - - > p = 36 . answer : c ."
divide(0.54, subtract(divide(15, const_100), multiply(subtract(const_1, divide(10, const_100)), divide(15, const_100))))
