Solution :
Tyler orders a meal that costs $15.
The sales tax is 6.6%.
The cost of sales tax and meal is [tex]C=15\times 6.6\%[/tex]
[tex]C=15\times 0.066[/tex]
[tex]C=0.99[/tex]
The sales tax be on Tyler's meal is 15+0.99=15.99.
Since he wants to leave a tip, average is 15%.
i.e. [tex]15.99\times 0.15=2.40[/tex]
He should pay 15.99+2.40=$18.39
