Answer:total cost is $147.6
Explanation:
You go out to eat and your bill comes to $123. This means that the initial cost of the meal is $123. The goods and services tax is 5% of $123. The value of the goods and services tax would be
5/100 × 123 = 0.05 × 123 = $6.15
you leave a 15% tip. The value of the tip that you left would be
15/100 × 123 = 0.15 × 123 = $18.45
Total amount of bill to be paid would be
123 + 6.15 + 18.45 = $147.6
