Answer 1

Answer:

The total price of the meal after tax and tip is $31.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Their bill is = $25.40.

Sales tax = 5.5%.

Tip to waitress = 18%.

Now, to find the total price of the meal after tax and tip.

So, to get the price of the meal after sales tax :

$25.40 + 5.5% of $25.40.

$=25.40+\frac{5.5}{100} \times 25.40.$

$=25.40+\frac{139.7}{100}$

$=25.40+1.397$

$=\ 26.797$

Now, to get the total price after tax and tip:

$26.797 + 18% of $26.797.

$=26.797+\frac{18}{100} \times 26.797$

$=26.797+0.18\times 26.797$

$=26.797+4.823$

$=\ 31.62.$

Therefore, the total price of the meal after tax and tip is $31.62.
