Sagot :

$37.50

tax = 8%

tip = 18%

a) 37.5 ------------------ 100%

x ------------------- 8%

x = (8 x 37.5) / 100

x = 3

Tax = $3

b) Money of lunch plus tax = $40.5

40.5 -------------------- 100

x --------------------- 18

x = (18 x 40.5) / 100

x = 7.29

Total amount paid = 7.29 + 40.5

= $ 47.79
