Question

Jared and Casey splurged on a special dinner for their anniversary. Their dinner cost $262.57, and the local sales tax is 4%. If they left a 20% tip on the $262.57, how much in total did they pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

325.58

Step-by-step explanation:

so im not good at explaining but JUST their DINNER costed $262.57. so you also have to ADD TAX because everything has tax so to find the 4% sale tax you need to set up the equation 262.57 x .04 (which is 4%). you will get 10.50 if you round. now you need to ADD TIP which is 20%. so to find that you need to do 262.57 x .20 (which is 20%). you will get 52.51. so now take BOTH 52.51 and 10.50 and ADD them. when you get this you also add it to the 262.57 and it gets you to 325.58
