First, there was $37.50.
Then, there was a tax of 8%.
Then, there was a tip of 18%.
Since the tip is after the tax, it's not going to affect it, and we can essentially ignore it.

The real question here is just <em>what is 8% of $37.50?</em>

To find the percent of something, first you need to put the percent as a decimal.

8% in decimal form is 0.08 (If you think about it literally, they're both 8 hundredths)

Finally, just multiply the percent in decimal form by the number.

37.50 dollars × 0.08 = 3 dollars.<em />

8%= .08 37.50 x .08= $ 3.00 using only the amount of the original bill,since that was what the tax was based on hope this helps

marta [7]
S= number of small boxes
l= number of large boxes

equation 1:  s+l=120
equation 2:  15s+45l=3300

solve by elimination, multiply equation 1 by -15.

-15(s+l=120) =  -15s-15l=-1800  add to equation 2.

-15s+15s-15l+45l=-1800+3300  = 30l=1500

30l=1500 , l=50

s+l=120, s+50=120 --> s=70
