Question

I need help because need to bring my math grade

Mr. Anderson took Mrs. Anderson out
for a nice steak dinner. The food bill
came out to $89.25 before tax and tip.
If tax is 6% and tip is 15%, what is
the total cost?

Answer 1

Your tax is going to be $5.36 bringing your total to $94.61. If you tip on pretax total your tip will be $13.39. (Total will be $102.64) If you tip on the taxed total the tip will be $14.19 bringing the total to $103.44

Answer 2

$108.80

Explanation:

89.25x0.06 = $5.36 tax

89.25 + 5.36= 94.61

94.61 x 0.15 = 14.91 tip

94.61 + 14.91 = 108.80 total

A faster way: 89.25*1.06*1.15=108.80
