Question

The Hu family goes out for lunch, and the price of the meal is $58. The sales tax on the meal is 7%, and the family also leaves a 15% tip on the pre-tax amount. What is the total cost of the meal?

Answer 1

The total cost of the Hu's family meal would be $71.37

Explanation:

($58 + 15%) + 7% = 71.37

($58 + 15%) = $66.70

$66.70 + 7% = $71.37
