Question

Compute the total cost of the meal to the nearest cent: meal costs $24.62 plus 6% tax and 15% tip.​

Answer 1

The total cost of the meal is $30.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of meal = $24.62

Tax = 6%

Tax amount = 6% of cost of meal

$Tax\ amount=\frac{6}{100}*24.62\\Tax\ amount=\frac{147.72}{100}\\Tax\ amount=\ 1.48$

Cost after sales tax = 24.62+1.48 = $26.10

Tip = 15%

Tip amount = 15% of cost after sales tax

$Tip\ amount=\frac{15}{100}*26.10\\\\Tip\ amount=\frac{391.5}{100}\\Tip\ amount=\ 3.92$

Total cost of meal = Cost after sales tax + Tip amount

Total cost of meal = 26.10+3.92 = $30.02

The total cost of the meal is $30.02
