Question

Alec paid the bill for dinner with his clients which totaled $140 before tax and tip. If an 8 percent sales tax was added to the cost of the meal, and an automatic tip was added in the amount of $25.00, what was the total cost of the dinner?

Answer 1

The total cost of the dinner is $176.20.

What is the total cost of the dinner?

The total cost of the dinner is the sum of the bill for the dinner, the tax and the tip.

Total cost = tip + bill of the dinner + tip

Tax = 0.08 x 140 = $11.20

Total cost = $140 + $25 + $11.20 = $176.20
