Question

While on a business trip to Richmond, Alexa treated her co-workers to a

meal that cost $160. Alexa knew that when the bill came, she would need
to pay Richmond sales tax of 5% and would want to leave a 15% tip on
the original $160. Including tax and tip, how much did Alexa's meal cost?

Answer 1

$192

Explanation:

5% = 0.05

160 x 0.05 = $8 (sales tax)

15% = 0.15

160 x 0.15 = %24 (tip)

$8 + $24 = 32

$160 + $32 = $192
