Question

Ai Mi goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $16. A sales tax of 6% was added on. Ai Mi tipped 14% on the amount after the sales tax was added. What was the total cost of the meal, plus tax and tip? Round to the nearest cost.​

Answer 1

$18.97

Explanation:

You want to know Ai Mi's bill if her $16 lunch had 6% tax added, and she tipped 14% on the amount with tax.

Tax

Adding tax multiplies the bill by (1 +6%) = 1.06.

Tip

Adding the tip on the amount with tax multiplies that amount by (1 +14%) = 1.14.

Total cost

The total cost of Ai Mi's lunch is ...

($16(1.04))(1.14) ≈ $18.97

The total cost with tax and tip was $18.97.
