Question

5. CATERED DINNER The Striton family had a meal catered for a wedding rehearsal dinner. The cost of the dinner was $476. There was a 5% sales tax and they left a 15% tip. What was the total cost including the sales tax and the tip?

Answer 1

Answer: $571.20

Explanation:

In this question, you're gonna use multiplication to figure out the tax and the tip.

If the dinner is $476 and the tax is 5%, multiply the two to figure out how much the sales tax is.

476 • 0.05 = 23.80

Then, multiply the $476 and 15% to figure out the tip.

476 • .15 = 71.40

Add them all up.

476 + 71.40 + 23.80 = 571.20

In this case, the Striton family paid $571.20 altogether.
