ANSWER: $13.21
Find 8% of 10.45 then add the answer to 10.45 to get how much it cost after the sales tax.
8% of 10.45 = 0.836
Add 0.84 to 10.45
The answer is 11.29
Now take 17% of 11.29 and add it to 11.29. We are taking 17% of 11.29 because it said he tipped after the sales tax was added.
17% of 11.29 = 1.92
11.29 + 1.92 = 13.21
Hope this helps and makes sense. If you have more questions feel free to ask
