Question

Joe and three friends went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. The total bill was $76.25 and the sales tax rate is 8.875%. They left the server a 20% tip. How much was the tip? How much was the sales tax? What was the total bill? How much should each person pay?

Answer 1

tip = 16.60, sales tax = 6.77, each should pay 33.21

Explanation:

76.25 * .08875 = 6.77 sales tax

76.25 + 6.77 = 83.02 bill

83.02 * .20 = 16.60 tip

83.02 + 16.60 = 99.62 total bill

99.62 / 3 = 33.21
