Question

Kaj goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $17.35. A sales tax of 4% was added on. Kaj tipped 22% on the amount after the sales tax was added. How much tip did she leave? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$22.01 (final answer)

1.04 *17.35=18.044
1.22*18.044=(rounded) 22.01

Think of (*) as “of” (example below)

So 1.04 (4%) OF $17.35 is $18.04
