Question

Emir and his family ordered a meal that cost $50. Emir paid 8% sales tax and left an 18% tip on $50. What was the total cost?

Answer 1

$63.00

Explanation:

Your first step is to change the percents into fractions, you do this by moving the decimal point two times to the left.

Your equations look like this:

Tip equation: .18 * 50 = $9.00

Tax equation: .08 * 50 = $4.00

Then you just add them all up to get the total, and you get,

9+4+50 = 63
