Alex’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. What is the total cost of the lunch, including the tip, without tax? Show all work

can you tell me how you got the answer pls

Answer 1

$15.21

Explanation:

The total cost will be the cost of the meal plus the tip.

The tip is 17% of the meal's price. Multiply 13 by 0.17, and you will have $2.21 as the tip.

$13 + $2.21 = $15.21
