To determine the total charge we first need to calculate how much we pay of taxes. This can be done by using a rule of three:

$\begin{gathered} 47.5\rightarrow100 \\ x\rightarrow8 \end{gathered}$

Then we have:

$x=(8\cdot47.5)/(100)=3.8$

Hence charge for the tax is $3.8.

Therefore the total charge of the meal is $51.3
