Question

Tara's meal cost $8.60. She had to pay sales tax of 7%. Then she left a 10% tip based off the new total. What did she spend altogether?

Answer 1

$10.12

Explanation:

Do $8.60 + $8.60(7%) = $9.20

Then $9.20 + $9.20(10%) = $10.12

Answer 2

She spent $10.12

Explanation:

8.60*.07 = .602, round that to .60

8.60 + .60 = 9.2

9.2*.10 = .92

9.2 + .92 = 10.12
