Question

Michael and Imani go out to eat for lunch.

Part A: If their food and beverages cost $25.30 and there is an 8% meals tax, how much is the bill?

Part B: If Michael and Imani add an 18% tip to the bill, what does their lunch cost in total?

Answer 1

Explanation:

part=A

So, we must find out what the total bill cost is such that we begin by multiplying the price with the tax such that $25.30(0.08) = $2.024.

Then we add the tax to the price such that

$25.30+2.024 = $27.32

In the case of adding an 18% tip,

So continuing on from the above post, $27.32 is the total after taxes. Then we add an 18% tip which is

$27.32 (.18) = $4.92..........Then, we add it to the $27.32 to get

$27.32 + $4.92 = $32.24 in total!
