Answer 1

13.93

Explanation:

Meal = 54.65

Sales tax = 8%

= 8/100 * 54.65 + 54.65

= 0.08 * 54.65 + 54.65

= 4.372 + 54.65

= 59.022

Tip = 18% of the meal and tax

= 18/100 * 59.022 + 59.022

= 0.18 * 59.022 + 59.022

= 10.62396 + 59.022

= 69.64596

Total people in the holcomebe family = 5

Cost of meal per person =

69.64596 / 5

= 13.929192

Approximately 13.93
