Question

Sammy served food to a group at a restaurant. The total cost of the food was $62.00. The sales tax is 6% of the cost of food. The group asked Sammy to add 20% of the original cost of food for a tip. What was the total cost for the group?

Answer 1

$62 total food amount
6% tax
20% of original cost of food for tip

62x0.06= 3.72
62x0.2= 12.4

62+12.4+3.72= $78.12

the total cost of the group is $78.12

Answer 2

If you total the 6% tax (62x0.06) and find the 20% tip (62x0.2), the answer should turn out as $78.12 when you combine them all ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
