Question

Maryanne went to lunch with a friend. The bill was $35.60 before tax. Sales tax rate is 7.25%, and she

decided to leave a 15% tip. What was the final total of her lunch bill?

Answer 1

$43.91

Explanation:

Calculating Total Cost. Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost.

$35.60 + $2.58 (tax) = $38.18

$38.18+ $5.73 (tip at 15%) = $43.91 total

hope this helps you!
