Question

Jason and his friend went to a restaurant for dinner. The food that they ordered cost $25. A 7% sales tax was applied to the total. After the sales tax was applied, Jason paid a 15% tip on the total bill. How much did Jason pay at the restaurant?

Answer 1

Hi there! The cost of the food they ordered was $25. 7% tax was add. To find the total amount including tax, multiply the cost by (1 + r). "r" is the percentage rate and the 1 represents the cost. 25 * 107% (1.07) is 26.75. The bill including tax is $26.75. Now, Jason pays 15% of that total as tips. Again, add 1 and the rate, and multiply by that total. 26.75 * 115% (1.15) is 30.7625 or 30.76 when rounded to the nearest cent. Jason pay $30.76 at the restaurant.

Answer 2

Jason paid a total of $30.76 in the restaurant.

Explanation:

Cost of the food = $25

A 7% sales tax was applied to the total. After the sales tax was applied, Jason paid a 15% tip on the total bill.

So, after sales tax the amount becomes:

`25+(0.07*25)=26.75` dollars

And after adding 15% tip it becomes:

`26.75+0.15*26.75=30.7625` dollars

Hence, Jason paid a total of $30.76 in the restaurant.
