Question

You know that your bill before tax is $52.60 and that sales tax rate is 8%. You decide to leave a 20% tip for the waiter. How much should you leave for the waiter? How much will the total be, including tax?

Answer 1

$10.52 tip should be given to the waiter.. The total bill including tax is $67.33

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Pre-tax amount = $52.60

Tip percentage = 20%

Tax percentage = 8$

Tip value =

`20\% * 52.60\\\\=(20)/(100)* 52.60\\\\=10.52\$`

Thus, $10.52 tip should be given to the waiter.

Tax value =

`8\% * 52.60\\\\=(8)/(100)* 52.60\\\\=4.21\$`

Total bill =

Pre tax amount + Tip + Tax

`=52.60 + 10.52 + 4.21\\=67.33`

Thus, the total bill including tax is $67.33
