Answer 1

The total cost of the lunch, including the tip and without tax, is $15.21.

Explanation:

We know that the tip is calculated as 17% of the cost of the lunch, without tax.

1. convert percentage into a decimal

17% = 0.17 because 17/100 = 0.17

2. calculate the tip amount

tip = 0.17 * 13

tip = $2.21

3. find the total cost of the lunch

total cost = cost of lunch + tip

total cost = $13 + $2.21

total cost = $15.21

Therefore, the total cost of the lunch, including tip and without tax is $15.21.

Answer 2

the answer is $15.21
