This is quite an easy equation and a calculator can also be used to solve it. If you have and questions, please ask!
Sales tax on food = total cost of food x sales tax = $16 x 5.75% = $0.92
Bill after tax = total cost of food + sales tax on food = $16 + $0.92 = $16.92
Tip owned = total cost of food x tip in percent = $16 x 0.1 = $1.60
Total bill = bill after tax + tip owed = $16.92 + $1.60 = $18.52
