Turner treated his sister to lunch while visiting her in springdale. their lunch cost $400. and the sales tax in springdale is 11% if turner left an 18% tip on the $400, how much in total did he pay​

Answer 1

$516

Explanation:

Price of lunch: $400

Sales tax: 11% of $400

Tip: 18% of $400

The sales tax and tip combined were 29% of $400 since 11% of $400 + 18% of $400 = 29% of $400.

We calculate the combined sales tax and tip:

29% of $400 =

= 0.29 * $400

= $116

The combined sales tax and tip were $116.

Now we add the combined sales tax and tip to the $400 price of dinner.

total = $400 + $116

total = $516
