Question

If you have to go out to eat and the total food bill comes to $25.00, and you decide to leave a tip of 15%, and, need to pay tax of 6%, how much Is your total bill? Please explain how to do it!!

Answer 1

the total bill is $26.50 + $3.75 = $30.25

Explanation:

Keep in mind that the tip is 15% of the cost of the food.

The tax is 6% of the cost of the food.

Thus, the total bill after tax but before tip is (1.06)($25) = $26.50.

The tip amount is (0.15)($25) = $3.75.

Thus, the total bill is $26.50 + $3.75 = $30.25
