Question

You order an appetizer for $12.99, 2 entrees for $12.99 each, and a dessert for $4.29. The sales tax is 6% and you leave a 15% tip based on the bill with sales tax. What is the total cost of your restaurant outing?

Answer 1

$52.73

Explanation:

Total Cost is sum of the individual costs

• Appetizer = $12.99
• 2 entrees for $12.99 each =
  `2*12.99=25.98`
• Dessert = $4.29

Total cost of food is
`12.99+25.98+4.29=43.26`

Now, adding 6% sales tax on top of that is:

`43.26*(1.06)=45.8556`

Then, 15% tip on top of that:

`45.8556*1.15=52.73`

Hence total cost of restaurant outing is $52.73
