Question

2.) Allam just finished a great meal at a restaurant. The sales tax in Wisconsin is 5%, percent, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15%, percent for the server. The tip amount is calculated on the price of the meal before the tax is applied. (Sales tax is not calculated on tips.) If Allam ordered a $15 meal, how much money would he have to pay with tax and tip?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Meal + Tip = 1.15 * $15

tax = $ 15 * .05

total = $15 ( 1.15 + .05) = $ 15 ( 1.20) = $18
