Question

Guadalupe goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $11.25. A sales tax of 9% was added on. Guadalupe tipped 23% 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 cent.

Answer 1

Answer: $14.10

Explanation:

11.25 * 9 = 101.25

101.25/100 = 1.0125

11.25 + 1.0125 = 12.2625

--
12.2625 * 26 = 282.0375

282.0375/100 = 2.820375

11.25 + 2.820375 = 14.070375

14.070375 rounded = 14.10
