Answer 1

To find the total amount paid including sales tax and tip, multiply the meal cost by the tax rate to find the tax amount, and by the tip percentage to find the tip amount, then add both to the original meal cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount paid at a restaurant, including sales tax and tip, we need to first calculate the tax amount by multiplying the total food cost by the tax rate. Then, we decide on a tip percentage and calculate the tip amount by multiplying the total food cost by the tip percentage. Finally, we add both the tax and tip amounts to the original food cost to get the total amount paid.

For example, Jerod and his friends had a food bill of $47.50. With a sales tax of 6%, the tax amount is $47.50 × 0.06, which equals $2.85. If they decide to leave a tip of 20%, the tip amount would be $47.50 × 0.20, which is $9.50.

The total amount they will pay at the restaurant's register is the sum of the food cost, tax amount, and tip amount:

• Food cost: $47.50
• Sales tax: $2.85
• Tip: $9.50

Total: $47.50 + $2.85 + $9.50 = $59.85

This method is also applicable to the situation with Mr. and Mrs. Green, where you calculate an 18% tip on their $72 meal cost to find the total cost of their dinner, which includes the tip.
