Question

If Jamal treated his family with a family brunch and the brunch costs $250 and the sales tax was 4%. If Jamal left an 18% tip on the $250. How much did he pay in total?

Answer 1

The total amount jamal paid is $305.

Given:

Jamal treated his family with a family brunch at the cost of $250.

The sales tax was 4%.

The tip is 18%.

to find the sales tax.

`\begin{gathered} =250\cdot4\text{ \%} \\ =250\cdot(4)/(100) \\ =(1000)/(100) \\ =10 \end{gathered}`

The amount he paid for sales tax is $ 10.

to find the tip.

`\begin{gathered} =250\cdot18\text{ \%} \\ =250\cdot(18)/(100) \\ =(4500)/(100) \\ =45 \end{gathered}`

Jamal left a tip of $45.

Thus the total amount paid by Jamal is,

`250+10+45=305`
