Question

Nicole has $25 to spend on dinner for herself. Tax on her meal is 5.5% and she wants to tip 20% on the amount of her meal only. Select all the amounts Nicole could spend on her meal.

Answer 1

$30.375

Explanation:

The cost of her meal = $25

Tax on her meal = 5.5% = (5.5 / 100) * $25

Tax on her meal = $1.375

She intends to tip 20% the cost of her meal = (20 / 100) * $25 = $4

Total amount she could spend = cost of her meal + tax + tip

Total amount she could spend = $25 + $1.375 + $4 = $30.375

The total amount nicole could spend on her meal is $30.375
