Question

Avery goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $9.80. A sales tax of 6% was added on. Avery tipped 19% on the amount after the sales tax was added. What was the total cost of the meal, plus tax and tip? Round to the nearest cent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

12.36

Step-by-step explanation:

price x sales tax rate =sales tax

9.80 x .06=sales tax

.59=sales tax

price + sales tax=price with sales tax included

9.80+.59=10.39

price with sales tax x tip percentage=tip amount

10.39 x .19=1.97

price with sales tax + tip = total amount

10.39+1.97=12.36
