After eating dinner at a restaurant, Sid's bill before tax is $62.00. The sales tax rate is 8%. Sid decides to leave a 15% tip for the waiter based on the pre-tax amount. How much money will Sid pay total, including tax and the tip?

Answer 1

Answer:

The oil will cost 3.76.

Sid paid 76.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.15 * 0.75 = 1.61

1.61 + 2.13 = 3.76

62*0.15 = 9.30

62*0.08 = 4.96
