Question

A group of friends goes out to dinner. The total bill, without tax, is $63. If tax on the meal is 6% and if an 18% tip is left on the $63 total billwhat is the total amount paid?

Answer 1

Answer: $78.12

Explanation:

First find the tip to be paid on the pretax amount:

= 63 * 18%

= $11.34

Then find the tax to be paid:

= 63 * 6%

= $3.78

Add the tip and the tax to the pretax bill:

= 63 + 11.34 + 3.78

= $78.12
