Question

If everything costs $25.30 and there is an 8% meals tax, how much does the meal cost ?

Answer 1

Total cost of the meal is $ 27.32.

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of the meal = $25.30

Tax levied on it = 8%

We have to find the total cost.

Total cost of the meal = Summation of cost of the meal and levied tax.

So,

We have to calculate the tax.

⇒
`8\%\ of\ \$25.30`

⇒
`(8)/(100)* \$25.30`

⇒
`0.08* \$25.30`

⇒
`\$2.024`

Tax imposed =
`\$2.024`

Now,

Total cost of the meal =Tax + Meal cost

⇒
`\$(2.024+25.30)`

⇒
`\$27.324`

Total cost of the meal is $ 27.32.
