Question

Your dinner bill comes to $19.68. Estimate your total cost for dinner with a 5% tax and a 20% tip on the original bill. Justify your reasoning.

Answer 1

Estimate:
Bill = $20 approximately.
5% tax on $20 = 20/20=$1
20 % on ($20) = $4
Total cost = $20+1+4 = $25
Total bill = $25 approximately.

Exact calculations
bill = 19.68
tax 5% = 0.98
Tip 20% of original = 3.94
Total bill = 19.68+0.98+3.94 = 24.60
