Question

Camilla visited her parents in Belmont and took them out to dinner. Their dinner cost $112, and the sales tax in Belmont is 9%. If Camilla left an 18% tip on the $112, how much in total did she pay?

Answer 1

correct answer is 142.24

Explanation:

$112 * 0.09 = $10.08

The sales tax on the dinner is $10.08.

. To find the amount of the tip, we can calculate 18% of $112 by multiplying it by 0.18.

$112 * 0.18 = $20.16

The tip amount is $20.16.

To find the total amount Camilla paid, we add the cost of dinner, the sales tax, and the tip:

$112 + $10.08 + $20.16 = $142.24

Answer 2

$366.24
