Question

Julia's service charge at a beauty salon was $72.60, before tax. The sales rate was 8%. If she added 20% of the amount before tax as a tip, how much did she pay for the service at the salon?

Show all work.

A) $87.12
B) $92.93
C) $100.60
D) $145.20

Answer 1

$87.12

Explanation:

Tax: 8%

20% as a tip

First, we must add the tip to how much she was charged.

72.6 x 0.2 = 14.52 72.6 + 14.52 = $87.12

The tax doesn't count because it only asks for the service at the salon.

I hope this helped!
