Answer 1

To calculate the total bill including sales tax and tip for a restaurant meal, multiply the cost of the meal by the tax rate, add that to the original total, calculate and add the tip, and sum everything for the final total amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total bill including sales tax and tip for Jerod and his friends, follow these steps:

1. First, calculate the sales tax by multiplying the total cost of the food, $47.50, by the sales tax rate of 6%. That gives you $47.50 * 0.06 = $2.85 in sales tax.
2. Add the sales tax to the original total to get the new subtotal: $47.50 + $2.85 = $50.35.
3. Decide on the percentage of the tip. A common tip amount is 15-20% of the subtotal before tax. If they choose to tip 15%, they would calculate the tip as $47.50 * 0.15 = $7.13.
4. Add the tip to the subtotal (including sales tax) to get the final total: $50.35 + $7.13 = $57.48.

Thus, if using a credit card at the restaurant's register, including the sales tax and tip, Jerod and his friends will pay $57.48.
