Answer:

$53.30

Explanation:

Cost of lunch : $52

Tax : 2.5%

Divide the tax (2.5%) by 100

2.5 ÷ 100 = 0.025

Multiply 0.025 by the cost of the lunch ($52) to get the sales tax.

52 × 0.025 = 1.3

Now, add 1.5 (sales tax) with 52 (cost of lunch).

52 + 1.3 = 53.30

So, the total cost of the lunch + tax is $53.30.


Hope this helped !
