Question

Teresa's restaurant bill comes to $29.99 before tax. If the sales tax is 6.25% and she tips the waiter 20%, what is the total cost of the meal?

Answer 1

The total cost of the meal is $38.23

Explanation:

To find out the tax, you multiply $29.99 times .0625. The tax is 1.87

The total before the tip is $31.86

To find out the tip, you do 31.86 minus 20%. The amount is $6.37

Then you add $31.86 and $6.37 together to get $38.23

Answer 2

Teresa's restaurant bill is 29.99 dollars before the tax.The sales tax is said to be 6.25% of the total amount .=> 6.25% = 0.0625=> 29.99 dollars * 0.0625 = 1.87 dollars is the sales tax that will be added to his payment,=> 29.99 + 1.87 = 31.86 dollars is now here current payment.Next, he needs to give 20% tip to the water.=> 31.86 * .20 = 6.37 dollars is the total amount for the tip to the waiter. => 31.86 + 6.37 = 38.23 dollars will be the total amount that Teresa needs to pay for her restaurant meal.
