25.67x.035= 0.89 (if rounded it would be 90)
25.67+0.89= 26.56$

okay so basically its an increase of 3.5% of 25 dollars and 67 cents.

So

basically

(25.67)* .035 -----> To get .035, you will need to move the decimal to the left twice to make it into a decimal to get the percentage of the total amount.

So the total of that amount would be

89 cents ( ignore numbers after 9 because your just looking at the 2 first number after you did your equation).

Then you add the total amount ( The amount for the meal) + The TAX

So you will get 25.67 + 89 = 26.56

If you got any more questions of what I said ( because it's confusing). Tell me!

ANSWER: $26.56
