b. Jabo also wants to leave a 20% tip for the server? What does he pay the server? $

c. What does he pay in all? $

Answer 1

$25.80

Explanation:

Find the cost of the meal with the sales tax:

20 x 0.075 = 1.5

Add the sales tax to the total

20 + 1.5 = 21.50

Find the tip:

21.5 x 0.2 = 4.3

Add the tip to the total cost so far:

21.50 + 4.30 = 25.80
