Question

You just had dinner at your favorite restaurant. The total bill is $63.50 not including tax. What would your total be if you left a 15% tip and the sales tax of 9.5%?

Answer 1

The total would be $79.05.
Because 63.5*0.15=9.525 and 63.5*0.095=6.0325. 9.525+6.0325=15.5575.
63.50+15.5575=79.0575 or $79.05

Answer 2

$79.06

15% of 63.50=9.525
9.5% of 63.50=6.0325
9.525+6.0325=15.5575
63.50+15.5575=79.0575
79.0575 rounds to 79.06
so $79.06
