The Smith family went out to dinner. • The price of the meal was $29.85. • The sales tax was 6% of the price of the meal. • The tip was 15% of the meal and the sales tax. How much money did the Smith family pay for the meal, including tax and tip? AND PLZ SHOW HOW U GOT THE ANSWER :)
6% = 0.06 6% of the price of the meal is 0.06*$29.85=$1.791 the price of the meal and tax $29.85 + $1.791= 31.641 15%=0.15 The tip was 15% of the meal and the sales tax is 0.15*31.641= 4.74615
the price of the meal and tax and 15% tip = 31.641+ 4.74615≈ $36.39
the price of the meal and tax and 15% tip = $36.39
