Answer:

$3.00; $7.29

Explanation:

Find what 8% of $37.50 is:

x/37.50 = 8/100

cross multiply

x × 100 = 37.50 × 8

100x = 300

divide both sides by 100

x = 3

$3 is 8% of $37.50

If 8% was added to the bill, then add $3 to $37.50

3.00 + 37.50 = 40.50

Now find what 18% of 40.50 is

x/40.50 = 18/100

cross multiply

x × 100 = 40.50 × 18

100x = 729

divide both sides by 100

x = 7.29

$7.29 is 18% of the bill after sales tax

They tipped $7.29
