Answer:

Cost of the bill with 8% meals tax is $27.324 and

Cost of lunch with 18% tip is $31.878.

Explanation:

Given:-

Cost of lunch for food and beverages = $25.30

Meal tax=8% of cost of lunch.

Tip=18% of cost of lunch.

To find:- Bill cost after 8% meals tax=?

Total lunch cost after 18% tip=?

Solution:_

Cost of lunch = $25.30 ---------(given)

Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax =
25.30+(25.30* (8)/(100) )

Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax =
25.30+((25.30* 8)/(100) )

Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax =
25.30+((202.4)/(100) )

Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax = 25.30+2.024

Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax = $27.324 ----------------(1)

Total cost with 18% tip = Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax + 18% tip of lunch cost

Total cost with 18% tip =
27.324+(25.30* (18)/(100) ) --(from 1)

Total cost with 18% tip =
27.324+((25.30* 18)/(100) )

Total cost with 18% tip =
27.324+((455.40)/(100) )

Total cost with 18% tip = 27.324+4.554

Total cost with 18% tip = $31.878

Therefore Cost of the bill with 8% meals tax is $27.324 and

Cost of lunch with 18% tip is $31.878.
