Answer 1

The total cost of the lunch, including the tip, without tax is $15.21.

Explanation:

Given:

Joseph's lunch at a restaurant costs $13.00, without tax.

He leaves the waiter a tip of 17% of the cost of the lunch, without tax.

Now, to find the total cost of the lunch, including the tip, without tax.

Cost of the lunch without tax = $13.00.

Rate of tip on cost of lunch = 17%.

Now, to get the total cost of the lunch, including the tip, without tax:

$13.00 + 17%\ of $13.00.

`=13+(17)/(100) * 13`

`=13+0.17* 13`

`=13+2.21`

`=\$15.21.`

Therefore, the total cost of the lunch, including the tip, without tax is $15.21.
