Answer 1

Answer: You served food to a group at a restaurant. The total cost of the food was $42.00. The sales tax is 8% of the cost of food. The group asked you to add 20% of the original cost of food for a tip. What was the total cost for the group?

Answer is $53.76

x 42.00 and 8 to get 3.36

Then x 42.00 x 20% to get 8.40

and 42.00 as 42

Then add all of those together 42 + 3.36 + 8.40 =

to get $53.76 as you're answer.

Answer 2

$53.76

Explanation:

Given cost of food = $42

tax = 8% of $42

= (8/100) x $42

= $ 3.36

tip = 20% of $42

= (20/100) x $42

= $ 8.40

FInal cost = $42 + $3.36 + $8.4 = $53.76
