Question

The price for the items ordered at lunch was $23.45. How much would the price be after tax and tip if the tax rate is 8% and you plan to tip 20% of the new total

Answer 1

Cost of items = $23.45

Tax = 8% of $23.45 = 0.08*23.45 = $1.88
Tip = 20% of $23.45 = 0.2*23.45 = $4.69

Total cost = 23.45 + 1.88 + 4.69 = 30.02

Answer: $30.02
