Question

Lunch for 4 people only $39.50

They want to leave a 20% tip. How much should they leave for the tip. If the sales tax is 5%, how much tax do they owe?

Answer 1

20/100 = 0.2

0.2 * 39.50 = 7.90

They should leave a $7.90 tip.

5/100 = 0.05

39.50 * 0.05 = 1.975 and rounds to 1.98

They should pay $1.98 in sales tax.
