Question

john goes out for dinner, and the price of his meal is $18 the sales tax on the meal is 6%, and he also wants to leave a 20% tip what is the total price of the meal?

Answer 1

Total price of the meal = $22.68

Explanation:

Given that:

Price of the meal = $18

Sales tax = 6% of 18

Sales tax =
`(6)/(100)*18`

Sales tax = 0.06 * 18

Sales tax = $1.08

Tip = 20% of 18

Tip = 0.2 * 18

Tip = $3.60

Total price of meal = 18 + 1.08 + 3.60

Total price of meal = $22.68

Hence,

Total price of the meal = $22.68
