Question

A birthday celebration meal is $42.60 including tax, but not the tip. Find the total cost if a 10% tip is added to the cost of the meal

Answer 1

Well, 10% of 42.60 is 4.26, add 4.26 to 42.60 and that is $46.86.

Answer 2

$46.86

Explanation:

We are asked to find the cost of a meal after adding 10% tip to the cost.

The cost of a meal after adding 10% tip would be $42.60 plus 10% of $42.60.

`\text{Cost of the meal after tip}=\$42.60+$42.60* (10)/(100)`

`\text{Cost of the meal after tip}=\$42.60+$42.60* 0.10`

`\text{Cost of the meal after tip}=\$42.60(1+0.10)`

`\text{Cost of the meal after tip}=\$42.60(1.10)`

`\text{Cost of the meal after tip}=\$46.86`

Therefor, the cost of meal after 10% tip would be $46.86
