Question

The Maxwell family goes out for dinner. The price for the

meal is $90. The sales tax on the meal is 7.25% and they
also want to leave an 18% tip. What is the total cost of the
meal?

Answer 1

113.90 with exact change

Answer 2

$113.90

Explanation:

Find the cost of the meal with sales tax:

90 x 0.075 = 6.525

Add that to the original cost of the meal:

90 + 6.525 = 96.525

Find the cost of the tip:

96.525 x 0.18 = 17.3745

Add the tip to the meal price:

96.525 + 17.3745 = 113.8995
