Part B If Michael and Imani add an 18% tip to the bill (Use your answer from Part A), what does their lunch cost in total? Enter your answer in the box. Round to nearest cent.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tax

Meal plus tax = 25.3 + 8/100 * 25.3

Meal plus tax = 25.3 + 2.024 Round later. Find the total.

Meal plus tax = 27.324

Meal plus tax = 27.32 rounded to the nearest cent.

Tip

Total cost = 27.324 + 27.324 * 18 /100

Total cost = 4.91832 + 27.324

Total cost = 32.242

Rounded to nearest cent = 32.24 You should always round at the last step.
