Answer: the total cost of the meal is $34

Explanation:

Jenna went out for a dinner that cost $50. If sales tax in Dover is 14%. It means that the amount of sales tax that she paid would be

14/100 × 50 = 0.14 × 50 = $7

Jenna left an 18% tip on $50. It means that the amount of tipthat she left would be

18/100 × 50 = 0.18 × 50 = $9

The total cost of the meal would be

50 - (9 + 7)

= 50 - 16 = $34
