To calculate the total amount paid, including sales tax and tip, find the amount of sales tax by converting the tax rate to a decimal and multiply it by the subtotal. Calculate the tip by multiplying the subtotal by the tip rate as a decimal. Finally, add the subtotal, sales tax, and tip together to find the total amount paid.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount paid, including sales tax and tip, we need to find the sales tax and calculate the tip based on the subtotal.

First, let's find the amount of sales tax. To do this, convert the tax rate to a decimal by dividing it by 100, then multiply the subtotal by the decimal value. Round the answer to the nearest cent.

Next, calculate the tip by multiplying the subtotal by the tip rate, which is expressed as a decimal by dividing it by 100. Round the answer to the nearest cent.

Add the subtotal, sales tax, and tip together to find the total amount paid.
