Now, if the customers left 8.23 extra, based on a percentage of the cost of the meal, namely, the 8.23 is a percent of 49.28, then
if we take 49.28 to be the 100%, how much of a percentage is 8.23?
Answer: 30.21$
Explanation:
1. 38• 0.25(25%)=28.50
2. 28.50•0.06(6)=1.71 ( the sales taxes)
3. 28.50+1.71=30.21$
Hope this helps. If it’s correct please tell me.
Cost of items = $23.45
Tax = 8% of $23.45 = 0.08*23.45 = $1.88
Tip = 20% of $23.45 = 0.2*23.45 = $4.69
Total cost = 23.45 + 1.88 + 4.69 = 30.02
Answer: $30.02
Algebraically, that would be 5n - 11 = 24
