Question

Abigail goes to a restaurant and the subtotal on the bill was x dollars. A tax of

6% is applied to the bill. Abigail decides to leave a tip of 22% on the entire bill
(including the tax). Write an expression in terms of x that represents the total
amount that Abigail paid.

Answer 1

To find the total amount Abigail paid, calculate the tax and tip. The expression in terms of x representing the total amount is 1.2932x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount that Abigail paid, we need to calculate the tax and the tip. First, we calculate the tax by multiplying the subtotal by 6% (which is 0.06). The tax amount is 0.06x. Next, we calculate the tip on the entire bill (including the tax) by multiplying the subtotal and tax by 22% (which is 0.22). The tip amount is 0.22(x + 0.06x). Finally, we add the subtotal, tax, and tip together to get the total amount that Abigail paid:

Total amount = Subtotal + Tax + Tip

Total amount = x + 0.06x + 0.22(x + 0.06x)

Total amount = x + 0.06x + 0.22x + 0.0132x

Total amount = 1.2932x
