shania's service charge at the beaty salon was $72.60, before tax.the sales tax rate was 8%.if she added 20% of the amount before tax as a tip, how much dod she pay for the service at the salon?

Answer 1

Given:

Charge before Tax = $72.60

Tax rate = 8% = 0.08

Given that she added 20% of the charge before tax as a tip, the total amount she will pay is:

`(0.20\ast72.60)+(0.08\ast72.60)+72.60`

Solving further, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 14.52+5.81+72.60 \\ \\ =\text{ }92.93 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the total amount she paid for service at the salon is $92.93

ANSWER:

$92.93
