Question

15 players two coaches and 21 parents attend this year sports banquet the cost of each meal was $12 +5% sales tax what was the total cost of food for the banquet

Answer 1

Answer:

$478.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 15 players two coaches and 21 parents attend this year sports banquet the cost of each meal was $12 plus 5% sales tax.

First of all, we will find cost of each meal with tax as:

$\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\ 12+\ 12\times \frac{5}{100}$

$\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\ 12+\ 12\times 0.05$

$\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\ 12+\ 0.6$

$\text{Cost of each meal with tax}=\ 12.6$

Now, we will find total persons at the sport banquet as:

$\text{Total persons at banquet}=15+2+21$

$\text{Total persons at banquet}=38$

To find the total cost of food for the banquet, we will multiply cost of food for each person by 38.

$\text{Total cost of food for the banquet}=\ 12.6\times 38$

$\text{Total cost of food for the banquet}=\ 478.8$

Therefore, the total cost of food for the banquet is $478.80.
