Answer 1

In total I had to pay $ 82.42.

Explanation:

Since I and my friends went to dinner and I decided to pay for everyone's meal, and the total bill came to $ 65.00, and I decided to give the waiter a 20% tip before tax and also had to pay 6.8% sales tax, for To determine how much did I have to pay in all, the following calculation should be performed:

65 + (65 x 0.2) + (65 x 0.068) = X

65 + 13 + 4.42 = X

78 + 4.42 = X

82.42 = X

Therefore, in total I had to pay $ 82.42.
