Question

15 players two coaches and 21 parents attend this year sports banquet the cost of each meal was $12 +5% sales tax what was the total cost of food for the banquet

Answer 1

$478.80

Explanation:

We have been given that 15 players two coaches and 21 parents attend this year sports banquet the cost of each meal was $12 plus 5% sales tax.

First of all, we will find cost of each meal with tax as:

`\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\$12+\$12* (5)/(100)`

`\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\$12+\$12* 0.05`

`\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\$12+\$0.6`

`\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\$12.6`

Now, we will find total persons at the sport banquet as:

`\text{Total persons at banquet}=15+2+21`

`\text{Total persons at banquet}=38`

To find the total cost of food for the banquet, we will multiply cost of food for each person by 38.

`\text{Total cost of food for the banquet}=\$12.6* 38`

`\text{Total cost of food for the banquet}=\$478.8`

Therefore, the total cost of food for the banquet is $478.80.
