Question

Luci and her friends go out to lunch and receive a bill

for their meals that reads $56.80. They added a 20%
tip to their bill before tax was calculated. Tax is 8%.
How much money did they leave in total, including tax
and tip? Round to the nearest cent. Show your work.

Answer 1

$72.70

Explanation:

bill was $56.80

tip was 20% so was 56.80/ 5( because 5 of 20% will make 100%)= $11.36

tax was 8% so was 56.80*8/100= $4.54

total money paid

56.80+4.54+11.36 = 72.70
