Question

HELPPP MEE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!!!

Answer 1

$56.70

Explanation:

Meal cost before tax and tip is $45.

Both the tax and the tip are figured on the pre-tax amount.

Since sales tax is 6% and tip is 20%, we combine these, obtaining 26%, and then multiply the original $45 by 1.26:

Total meal cost: $56.70

Answer 2

When it comes to percentages with tips and taxes they are basically asking, in this case, "What is 6% of 45?" and "What is 20% of 45?".

To find the percentages, you need to convert the percentages to decimals.

6% = 0.06

20% = 0.2

Now that we have our decimals, we must multiply them by 45.

0.06 × 45 = 2.7

0.2 × 45 = 9

Now, add 9 and 2.7 to 45.

45 + 9 + 2.7 = 51.7

The total cost for their meal is $51.70.

I hope this helped. :)
