$27.18
$30.48
$32.26
$32.61

Answer 1

Her total cost with 7% sales tax and 20% tip is $32.26

What is the total  amount Bea spent before tax and tip?

The total amount Bea spent before sales tax and the tip of 20% given to the attendant is the sum of the cost of drink, appetizer and the sandwich

Total cost before tax and tip=$2.75+$8.50+$14.15

Total cost before tax and tip=$25.40

The sales tax is 7% of $25.40

sales tax=7%*$25.40

sales=$1.78

Tip is 20% of $25.40

tip=20%*$25.40

tip=$5.08

Total cost=Total cost before tax and tip+sales tax+tip

Total cost=$25.40+$1.78+$5.08

Total cost=$32.26
