Please help

The Maxwell family goes out for
dinner, and the price of the meal is
$60. The sales tax on the meal is 7%,
and they also want to leave a 15% tip.
What is the total cost of the meal?

sales tax = $60x0.07=$4.20

$60-$4.20=$55.80

tip = $60x0.15=$9

overall, $55.80+$9=64.80$ - total cost

not sure, but i think that's the way you do it
