Question

The Burgos family goes out to dinner and the price of the meal is $55. The sales tax is 7% and they want to leave a 15% tip. What is the total cost of the meal? (Do not tip on the tax.)

Answer 1

Answer:

pretty sure it would be $67 and 10 cent

Answer 2

Answer:

$61.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax is 7%. We change that to a decimal, which is 0.07. Then, we multiply 0.07 by the cost of the meal which is $55. We get $3.85. That is the tax.

Tax = $3.85

Now we have to find the tip. We change 15% into a decimal and get 0.15. We then multiply that by the cost of the meal. We get $8.25. That is the tip.

Tip = $8.25

Now we add the cost of the meal, the tax, and the tip.

Total = $67.10
