Question

you and three friends share a sushi boat at House of Kobe the cost of the boat is $50 you each also pay for a soft drink that is $2.39 what is the total cost of the meal after you pay 6% tax

Answer 1

$63.13

Step-by-step explanation

We have that the cost of the boat is $50.

Each of you and your friends (that is four of you) will pay for a soft drink that cost $2.39 each.

The cost of the soft drinks will therefore be:

4 * 2.39 = $9.56

Adding the cost of the boat, total cost will be:

$9.56 + $50 = $59.56

Now, we have to add a tax of 6%, so we find 6% of total cost:

`(6)/(100)\cdot\text{ 59.56 = \$3.57}`

Finally, add the tax to the cost:

$59.56 + $3.57

= $63.13

You pay a total of $63.13 (including tax)
