Question

A bill at a restaurant is $48.50. There is a 5% tax

added and then a 20% tip added. What is the total
cost?

Answer 1

$61.11

Explanation:

When the price of something has a certain percent added to it, you can first convert that percentage to a decimal and then add 1, since 1 is the original price. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

48.50*1.05*1.20=$61.11

Hope this helps!
