Question

Steven and his family ordered a meal that cost $136.50. Steven paid 14% sales tax and left a 20% tip on $136.50. What was the total cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

182.91

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply the cost of the meal by the sales tax percentage as a decimal (.14)

$136.50*.14=19.11$

Then multiply the cost of the meal before sales tax by the tip percentage

$136.50*.2=27.30$

Then add the tip and the sales tax on top of the cost of the meal to calculate the total cost

$136.5+19.11+27.3=182.91$
