Question

The Huggins family went out to dinner. The price of the meal was $62.95. The sales tax is 8% of the

price of the meal. The tip is 15% of the meal and the sales tax. How much money did the family
pay for the meal, including tax and tip?

Answer 1

$78.19

Explanation:

To find the total after the sales tax is charged you have to do

$62.95 x 1.08 (1 = to the total and .08 to add sales tax value) =$67.986 round*

Now you take $67.99 (has been rounded) and multiply but .15 to find out what is 15% of $67.99 , it comes out to be 10.1979 (Round)

Now to finish you add $67.99 +$10.20 = $78.19

Answer 2

$62.95 (meal) + $5.03 (sales tax) +$.75 (sales tax tip) + $9.44 (meal tip)

Total: $78.17
