Question

While on a business trip to Brookfield, Haley treated her co-workers to a meal that cost $50. Haley knew that when the bill came, she would need to pay Brookfield sales tax of 14% and would want to leave an 18% tip on the original $50. Including tax and tip, how much did Haley's meal cost?

Answer 1

$66

Explanation:

The meal cost $50 without taxes.

The cost of tax:

$50*%14= $7

so she will pay a $7 tax

Also, she wants to tip %18 of the original $50 so:

$50*%18= $9

so she will tip $9

$50 + $7 + $9 = $66
