Question

The manager of The Counter noticed that the birthday club members all brought along a family member who spent an average of $22.00 in the restaurant. The tax on their bill was 9 percent. How much did the family member pay in total? (Hint: bill total + tax)

Answer 1

Total amount pay by family member = $23.98

Explanation:

Given:

Average amount spent on food = $22

Tax rate on restaurant food = 9%

Find:

Total amount pay by family member

Computation:

Amount of tax pay by family member = Average amount spent on food x Tax rate on restaurant food

Amount of tax pay by family member = 22 x 9%

Amount of tax pay by family member = 22 x 0.09

Amount of tax pay by family member = $1.98

Total amount pay by family member = Average amount spent on food + Amount of tax pay by family member

Total amount pay by family member = 22 + 1.98

Total amount pay by family member = $23.98
