Question

You order an appetizer for $9.99, 2 entrées for $7.99 each, and a dessert for $3.49. The sales tax is 6% and you leave a 15% tip based on the bill with sales tax. What is the total cost of your restaurant outing

Answer 1

35.91174. So the simplified answer is 35.91

Answer 2

Answer: $35.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The cost of an appetizer= $9.99

The cost of each entrees = $7.99

Then , the cost of 2 entrees = $2\times7.99=\ 15.98$

The cost of a desert =$3.49

Now, the total cost of food you order = $\ 9.99+\ 15.98+\ 3.49=\ 29.46$        (1)

Then, sales tax percent = 6% =0.06

Then, the sales tax amount = $0.06\times29.46=\ 1.7676$     (2)

The percent of tip = 15% = 0.15

Then , the tip amount: $0.15\times29.46=\ 4.419$    (3)

Then , the total cost of your restaurant outing will be (adding (1), (2) and (3)) :-

$\ 29.46+\ 4.419+\ 1.7676=\ 35.6466\approx\ 35.65$

Hence, the total cost of your restaurant outing = $35.65
