Question

Lyla goes out to dinner with her freinds where the subtotal is $78.41. A 6% tax and 15% tip is added to the subtotal. How much did she pay in total?

Answer 1

Tax = 0.06 and Tip = 0.15 basically making the percent into decimals we can add the two numbers to get a combined total of 0.21.
Now we can grab the total and multiply the two number, but we’ll add a 1 in-front of the decimal since we attempting to find the total after tax and tip is added.
So (78.41 x 1.21) = 94.8761 rounding up to the hundredth since we’re dealing with money so the answer is $94.88
