For help! About OG11th Maths

Ask for help!

The N.O. 123 question in OG 11th:

123. The price of lunch for 15 people was $207.00, including a 15 percent gratuity for service. What was the average price per person, EXCLUDING the gratuity?

A.$11.73

B.$12.00

C.$13.80

D.$14.00

E.$15.87

My answer is 207x(1-0.15)/15=11.73  (A)

But the standard answer goes to B.

设每人 average price 是x,则有1.15x*15=207,求得x=12

每人x,可得

15x*(1+15%)=207

x=12

AND NO.115

Mary's income is 60 percent more than Tim's income,and Tim's income is 40 percent less than Juan's income. What percent of Juan's income is Mary's income?

A.124%

B.120%

C.96%

D.80%

E.64%

My solution process is: M=1.6T and T=0.6J,so M=1.6x0.6J,then J/M=1/(1.6x0.6)=104%

But the answer gives C 96%

Why? Confused!!!
