Question

The hu family goes out for lunch, the price of the meal is 47 dollars, the sales tax of the meal is 6 percent and the family also leaves a 15 percent tip on the pre tax amount. What is the total cost of the meal

Answer 1

The price of the meal is $ 47.

The sales tax is 6%.

The tip is 15%.

The value of sales tax is,

`\begin{gathered} ST=47*(6)/(100) \\ =(282)/(100) \\ =2.82 \end{gathered}`

The value of tip can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Tip}=47*(15)/(100) \\ =(705)/(100) \\ =7.05 \end{gathered}`

The total cost can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} C=47+2.82+7.05 \\ =56.87 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the total cost of the meal is $56.87.
