Question

Jordan went to lunch and spent $32.00, without tax. He left an 18% tip for the waitress. What was the

total of the lunch, without tax?

Answer 1

Money spent by Jordan on his lunch = $32

Tips he left for the waitress :

= 18% of the money spent on his lunch

`= 18\% \: of \: \: 32`

`= (18)/(100) * 32`

`= (576)/(100)`

`=$ 5.76`

Thus, the tips he left for the waitress = $5.76

Total money he spent along with the tips :

`= 32.00 + 5.76`

`= $ 37.76`

Therefore, the total of the lunch was = $37.76
