Question

You and some friends rent a limousine for a formal reception. The bill for the evening is $70.00. A tax of 8% will be added to your total, and you want to tip the chauffeur for his excellent driving.You decide to leave him a tip that is 20% of the bill before tax is added. How much will be paid in total?

Answer 1

The correct answer would be 140 dollars in total.

Answer 2

You would do

$70.00 times 0.20 which gives you 14
Next do $70.00 plus $14.00
This gives you $84
Finally you would do the tax which is 8%
8% is equal to 0.08
So you do the new total times the tax which would look like this
$84.00 times 0.08
This is equal to $6.72
Last of all you would add the tax to the new total of $84.00 which would look like this: $84.00 plus $6.72
This Equals $90.72

Hope This Helps!
