Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
- <em>Total cost of the food (before tax) = $82.25
</em>
- <em>Tip = 18% of the amount before the tax
</em>
So, to calculate the tip we have to multiply the cost of the food before tax ($82.25) by the 0.18 (percentage in decimal form, 18/100= 0.18).
Mathematically speaking:
82.25 x 0.18 = $14.80
The tip left for the servers was $14.80
11 / 12 - 8 / 12 = 3 / 12 = 1/4 square meters;
To find the total cost of Mikayla's purchase, we add together the costs of the skirts and tops. The costs of the skirts can be found be multiplying the quantity bought by the cost per skirt. Same goes for the tops.
