Question

Gina went for a fun dinner at Sally's Savory Seafood with some friends. The bill

before tax is $45.80 and the sales tax rate is 6.25%. Gina decided to leave a 20%tip for the
waiter based on the pre-tax amount. How much tip will Gina leave and how much will the
total bill be, including tax and tip?

Answer 1

Answer: Tip- $9.16

Total bill will be $57.82

Explanation:

Bill before tax is $45.80

6.25% sales tax implies 6.25/100 x 45.80= $2.86

20% tip = 20/100 x $45.80 = $9.16

Total bill is therefore $45.80+ $2.86+ $9.16
