Question

Jackie’s service charge at a beauty salon was $72.60 before tax. The sales tax rate was 8%. If she added 20% of the amount before tax as a tip, how much did she pay for the service at the salon including tax and tip

Answer 1

In total she paid $92.93
First the tip is 20% * 72.60
$14.52 is the tip
Second the tax is 8% * 72.60
$5.81 is the tax
14.52 + 5.81 + 72.60 = $92.93
