Question

Zoe paid \$18.60$18.60 in sales tax and tips for her dinner. The sales tax rate is 11\%11%, and she tipped 20\%20%. (The sales tax does not apply to the tip, and the tip is based on the price of the dinner before sales tax.)

Answer 1

Answer: The price of billing is $221.40.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount Zoe has paid in sales tax = $18.60

Rate of sales tax = 11%

So, Let the original price be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

`(11)/(100)* x=18.60\\\\x=(18.60* 100)/(11)\\\\x=\$169\ approx.`

Rate of tip = 20%

Amount of tip is given by

`(20)/(100)* 169\\\\=\$33.8`

Amount after tip is given by

`\$169+\$33.8\\\\=\$202.8`

Hence, The price of billing is given by

`202.8+18.60\\\\=\$221.4`
