Question

after eating at a restaurant the bill for your table is $62.50. There is a 6% sales tax and you want to leave a tip for 18% based on the pre-tax amount. How much money do you need to cover your final bill?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Your bill is $62.50

$62.50 * .06 = $3.75 (this is your sales tax added)

So your total is up to: $66.25

Adding the tip the same way using $66.25 *.18 = $11.93

Tip would be $11.93

Total coming to: $78.17

hope this helps

Answer 2

$77.50

Explanation:

Tax:

62.50x0.06= 3.75

3.75+62.50= 66.25

Tip:

62.50x0.18= 11.25

Answer:

66.25+11.25= 77.50
