Question

You order food at a restaurant that totals $195.55. If the sales tax is 6% and you leave a 20% tip on the subtotal, find the final cost of your dinner. (Tax before tipping )

Answer 1

248.74

Explanation:

195.55 x .06 (the tax)=11.73 now that is how much tax is so you add it to your total 195.55+11.73=207.28 now find the total for the tip 207.28x.20=41.46 that is how much 20% of the bill so add that to the total 207.28+41.46=248.74

Answer 2

$ 246.39

Explanation:

Sales tax = 6% of 195.55

= 0.06 * 195.55

= $ 11.73

Tips = 20% of 195.55

= 0.2 * 195.55

= $ 39.11

Final cost = 195.55 + 11.73 + 39.11

= $ 246.39
