Question

Joe's lunch at a restaurant costs $13.00 without tax. He leaves the waiter a tip of 17% of the cost of the lunch, without tax. What is the total cost of the lunch, including the tips, without tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $15.21

Explanation:

Given

Joe's lunch cost $13.00 without tax

He tipped the waiter with 17% of bill without tax

So, the amount of tip is

`\Rightarrow 13* 17\%\\\Rightarrow 13* 0.17\\\Rightarrow \$2.21`

Total amount that food costs without tax is

`\Rightarrow 13+2.21\\\Rightarrow \$15.21`
