Question

what is the total cost of a meal if the food cost $25 and there is a food tax of 3% and the waiter is tipped 15% of the food cost? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

If $25 is 100%,

$2.5 is 10%

$0.25 is 1%

$3.75 is 15%

$0.75 is 3%

Then add $25, $3.75 and 0.75 which is also equivalent to 100%+15%+3%=29.5 and if you rounded it up to the nearest cent it is 30
