Question

Latrell took one of his friends out to lunch. The lunches cost $60 and he paid 5% sales tax. If Latrell left a 15% tip on the $60, how much in total did he pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$72

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the lunch = $60

Sales tax = 5% of $60

= 5/100 × 60

= 0.05 × 60

= $3

Tip = 15% of $60

= 15/100 × 60

= 0.15 × 60

= $9

how much in total did he pay?

Total amount paid = cost of the lunch + sales tax + tip

= $60 + $3 + $9

= $72

Latrell paid $72 in total for the lunch
