The total cost of meal before tax and tip is $30.
The total sales tax is 7%.
The tip added to the cost of meal is 20%.
As, the total sales tax is 7% and cost of the meal is $30. Thus the total sales tax amount is,
[tex]s_t=30\times\dfrac{7}{100} \\s_t=2.1[/tex]
Thus the amount of sales tax is 2.1.
As the the tip added to the cost of meal is 20% and the cost of the meal is 32.1 after the tax. Thus the amount of meal after the 20 % tip is,
[tex]s_t=30\times\dfrac{20}{100} \\s_t=6.00[/tex]
The amount of the tip of the meal after the tax is $6.00.
The cost of meal after the tip and tax is,
