Question

The Ray family went out to dinner.

The price of the meal was $38.95.

The sales tax was 7% of the price of the meal.

The tip was 18% of the meal and the sales tax.

How much money did the Ray family pay for the meal, including tax and tip?

Answer 1

49.18$

Explanation:

Price of meal = 38.95$

sales tax = 7%

Price after sales tax = 38.95 + 7% of 38.95

=> 38.95 + 7/100 * 38.95

=> 38.95 + 2.73

=> 41.68$

Tip on meal plus sales tax = 18%

Therefore, the money ray family pay is = 41.68 + 18/100 *41.68

=> 41.68 + 7.50

=> 49.18$
