Question

Carter goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $19.55. A sales tax of 3% was added on. Carter tipped 15% on the amount after the sales tax was added. How much tip did he leave? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the Percentage to decimals:

3% / 100% = 0.03

15% / 100% = 0.15

3% / 0.03 part:

19.55 * 0.03 = 0.5865

19.55 + 0.5865 = 20.1365

OR, since it was "adde on" you can just use 1.03:

19.55 * 1.03 = 20.1365

15% / 0.15 part:

20.1365 * 0.15 = 3.020475

Round to nearest cent: $3.02
