Question

To celebrate getting a new job, Marco went out for a dinner that cost $100. If the localsales tax is 6% and Marco left a 15% tip on $100, what was the total cost of his meal?

Answer 1

Answer:

$121

Step-by-step explanation:

So if the meal cost $100, finding out the percentages is pretty easy.

The sales tax is 6%, and 6% of 100 is simply 6.

15% of 100 is simply 15.

So, adding the total cost of the meal plus the sales tax plus the tip is simply $121.
