Question

You and a friend go out to eat and spend $130 on dinner. In addition to the cost of the meal you must pay a 89 sales tax and leave a 20% tip. How much will each of you spend on dinner after you include the tax and tip?

Answer 1

$167.57

Explanation:

"In addition to the cost of the meal you must pay a 89 sales tax:" don't you mean a 8.9% sales tax?

Tax: 8.9% of $130 = %11.57

Tip: 20% of $130 = 26.00

Total: meal, tax and tip: $130 + $11.57 + $26 = $167.57
