Question

Rhonda went out to dinner.

• The price of her meal was
$15.55.
• The sales tax was 7% of the
price of the meal.
• The tip was 18% of both the
meal and the sales tax.
How much money did Rhonda
pay for the meal, including tax
and tip?

Answer 1

18.54

Explanation:

15.55 X 7% = 1.0885

15.55 + 1.0885 = 16.6385 X 18% = 2.99493

15.55 + 2.99493 =18.54493
