Question

This meal costs $30.00.

A 7% sales tax is applied, followed by an automatic tip of 18%.

What is the total with tax and tip?

Answer 1

tax = increase in price

7% increase = 1+(7/100)= 1.07

18% increase =1+(18/100)=1.18

overall coefficient: 1.07*1.18=1.2626

total price with taxes and tip: 30.00*1.2626=$37.878=$37.88
