Teresa's restaurant bill comes to $29.99 before tax. If the sales tax is 6.25% and she tips the waiter 20%, what Is the total cost of the meal?

Sagot :

The total cost of the meal is $38.23

To find out the tax, you multiply $29.99 times .0625. The tax is 1.87

The total before the tip is $31.86


To find out the tip, you do 31.86 minus 20%. The amount is $6.37

Then you add $31.86 and $6.37 together to get $38.23

Answer:

Cost of the meal is $37.86 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Teresa's restaurant bill comes to $29.99 before tax.

If the sales tax is 6.25% and she tips the waiter 20% .

6.25% is written in the decimal form.

[tex]= \frac{6.25}{100}[/tex]

= 0.0625

Sales tax price = 0.0625 × Restaurant bill

                        = 0.0625 × 29.99

                        = $ 1.87

20% is written in the decimal form .

[tex]= \frac{20}{100}[/tex]

= 0.20

Waiter tip = 0.20 × 29.99

                = $5.998

Total cost of the meal = Restaurant bill + Sales tax price + Waiter tip

Putting all the values in the formula

                                    = $ 29.99 + $1.87 + $5.998

                                    = $ 37.86 (Approx)

Therefore the cost of the meal is $37.86 .
