Question

A restaurant bill comes to $28.35 find the total coast if the tax is 6.25% and 20% tip is left on the amount before tax

Answer 1

The total cost of the bill = $36.146

Explanation:

Here, the total amount of the bill = $28.35

Now, the amount of tip = 20%

So, calculating 20% on the bill amount, we get

`(20)/(100) * 28.35  =  5.67`

or, the amount of 20% tip = $5.67

So, the total bill amount after 20% tip = Bill Amount + Tip

= $28.35 + $5.67 = $34.02

Now, the tax is calculated on the amount of bill $34.02.

`(6.25)/(100) * 34.02  =  2.126`

or, the amount of tax on the bill = $2.126

So, the total bill amount after 6.25% tax = Bill Amount + Tax

= $34.02 + $2.126 = $36.146

Hence, the total cost of the bill = $36.146.
