Question

Ryan went to lunch with his family. The cost of their meal was $130.
They left a tip of 18% on the $130 and paid the sales tax of 9% on the
bill. What was the total cost of the meal?

Answer 1

Answer:

$167.20

Step-by-step explanation:

0.18 x 130 = $32.4 (this is what they tipped)

the total now stands at $153.4 before tax

now to work out the tax you multiply the decimal of 9% by $153.4

0.09 x 153.4 = 13.8

the total cost of the meal is $167.20
