Question

The price of dinner was $24. 80. The sales tax was 8%. The server was given a 15% tip (calculated after tax was added). What was the total cost of the meal?.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.17

Explanation:

24.80/0.08 = 3.10

24.80/0.015 = 16.53

16.53 + 3.10 = 19.63

24.80 - 19.63 = 5.17

You might do this on a Calculator but you have to match the answers up with the condition of the Question.
