Answer 2

Explanation:

After eating at your favorite restaurant,you know that the bill before tax is $52.60 and that the sales tax rate is 8%. This means that the amount of sales tax that you would pay is

8/100 × 52.6 = $4.208

You decide to leave a 20% tip for the waiter based on the pre-tax amount. This means that the amount you would leave as tip for the waiter is

20/100 × 52.6 = $10.52

The total amount that you would pay is

52.6 + 4.208 + 10.52 = $67.328
