Question

After eating at a restaurant alex bill before tax is 78 the sales tax rate is 8% Alex decides to leave a 20 % tip based on the pre -tax amount how much money will alex pay in total including the tip and tax

Answer 1

Alex will pay $99.84

you first have to find the tip amount
(78)(.20)= $15.6
$78+$15.6= $93.60

then you will have to calculate the tax amount
(78)(.08)= 6.24
$93.60+$6.24= 99.84
