Question

Griffin had dinner at his favorite Indian restaurant. The bill before tax came to $28.50. The tax rate is 9%. Griffin wants to leave the waiter a 20% tip on the pre-tax total. What is Griffin's total for the entire meal including both tax and tip? Round your answer to the nearest cent (hundredth).

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{The bill before tax is}\Rightarrow28.50\text{ \$} \\ \text{Tip}\Rightarrow28.5*(20)/(100)=\text{ \$5.7} \\ \text{Tax}\Rightarrow28.5*(9)/(100)=\text{ \$2.565} \\ \text{Total money=28.5+5.7+2.5625} \\ \text{Total}=36.765\text{ \$} \end{gathered}`
