Since we know that the sales tax is 20%, we must convert this percent to a decimal. Let's divide by 100 to make it a decimal:



(20)/(100)=0.2


Then we multiply the original price by the tax in decimal form:



14*0.2=2.8


So we know that the tax will total $2.80. Then we need to add this to the original price to find the total price of the meal:



14+2.80=16.80


Now we know the total price of Han's meal is $16.80.
