Question

Suppose you rent a limousine for a formal reception. The bill for the evening is $53.00. A tax of 6% will be added, and you want to tip the chauffeur 20% for excellent driving. How much will you pay in total?

Answer 1

a=tip 1
b=tip 2
t=total tip
c-total cost

a+b=t
53+t=c

53*.06=a
53*.20=b
a=3.18
b=10.60

t=3.18+10.60
t=13.78

c=53+13.78
total cost=$66.78
