The hu family goes out for lunch, the price of the meal is 47 dollars, the sales tax of the meal is 6 percent and the family also leaves a 15 percent tip on the pre tax amount. What is the total cost of the meal

Respuesta :

The price of the meal is $ 47.

The sales tax is 6%.

The tip is 15%.

The value of sales tax is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} ST=47\times\frac{6}{100} \\ =\frac{282}{100} \\ =2.82 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The value of tip can be determined as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Tip}=47\times\frac{15}{100} \\ =\frac{705}{100} \\ =7.05 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The total cost can be determined as,

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=47+2.82+7.05 \\ =56.87 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the total cost of the meal is $56.87.
