If something isn't clear or you're still confused about, let me know in the comments.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, here's my best try.
Suppose you have a bill for $8.45
If you are asked to add, say, 8% tax, you must calculate 8 percent of 8.45 and then add it to 8.45.
Begin by converting 8% to decimals by dividing by 100.
8% is 0.08 in decimal form.
To calculate a percentage of a number, you multiply the decimal percent by the number; example:
8.45 is being multiplied by 0.08. The result is: 0.676. (this is the tax; however you have to round up to two decimal places: $0.68)
After finding the tax amount, if you are asked to add it to the bill, you have to add it to the original bill; in this case, $8.45
This would be: 0.68+8.45=9.13.
Therefore, the total bill after tax is for $9.13

With tips is the same thing, however, you can have 2 situations.
Situation 1: You are asked to calculate 15% tip of total bill.
In this situation, you can do the same we do to calculate tax.
Convert the percentage to decimal by dividing by 100.
![\frac{15}{100}=0.15](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B100%7D%3D0.15)
and multiply it by the original bill.
. Rounding up, this would be $1.27 for tip.
If you were to add it to the original bill, simply sum.
![8.45+1.27=9.72](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8.45%2B1.27%3D9.72)
The total bill after tips is for $9.72
Situation 2: You are asked to calculate 15% tip of the total bill with a tax of 8% included.
In this situation, you must first calculate the total bill with the tax added, like we did above; we got a bill for $9.13 (Tax included)
Then you can calculate 15% tip of this new bill that has tax included.
Convert
![\frac{15}{100}=0.15](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B100%7D%3D0.15)
Multiply by the new bill (because this is the one that includes tax)
Round up.... $1.37 for tips.
If you are asked to give a total amount of money including tax and tips, add this to the bill.
9.13+1.37=10.50
This bill would be for $10.50
