If an 8 percent sales tax was addedto the cost of the meal, and an automatic tip was added in the amount of $25.00, what was the total cost of the dinner?$151.20 $152.00$165.00$176.20

Answer 1

The total cost of the dinner is $176.20

Here, we want to calculate the total cost of the dinner

To calculate this total cost, we need to identify the parts necessary

These parts of the bill are;

a) Main cost of dinner

b) sales tax

c) Tip

By calculating and adding all of these, we get the total dinner cost

a) This is $140 from the question

b) This is 8% of the dinner cost which is 8% of 140

Mathematically, we have that as;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ 140} \\ \\ =\text{ \ 11.20} \end{gathered}$

c) The tip cost which is $25

The total cost of the dinner is thus;

$a\text{ + b + c = \ 140 + \ 11.20 + \ 25 = \ 176.20}$
