Question

Joey's lunch at a restaurant cost $13.00, without tax. He leaves the waiter a tip of 17% of the cost of the lunch, without tax. What is the total cost of the lunch, including the tip, without tax?

Answer 1

So Joeys lunch is 13 dollars and he leaves 17 percent of that. So first we find 17 percent of 13. So 13*0.17 is equal to 2.21. So then we do 2.21+13 and we get 15.21
