Question

Felix and Jose go to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Their meals total $28.00. Tax is 6%.

a. What is the total cost of food and tip?

b. Felix and Jose want to leave a 20% tip based on the cost before tax. How much should they leave?
Help pls

Answer 1

A, Total cost with tax; $29.68

B, Total cost of tip; $5.60

Explanation:

28 x .2, accounting for the tip, is 5.6, aka $5.60. 28 x .06, accounting for the tax, is 1.68. Adding the original amount, the tax, and the tip, we are left with $35.28 in total after they have paid both the tax and the tip.

Hope this helps!
