If the sales tax rate is 7.25% in California and 20% gratuity is automatically added to your restaurant check. How much would you pay in Los Angeles for a restaurant bill that is $220.00?

The tax added to $220 is solved by 220 X .0725 = 15.95. Add 15.95 to $220 and get $235.95. The tip (assuming it is 20% after tax ) is $235.95 X .20= $47.19
Add the $47.19 to $235.95= $283.14
