Answer:
Cost of the bill with 8% meals tax is $27.324 and
Cost of lunch with 18% tip is $31.878.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
Cost of lunch for food and beverages = $25.30
Meal tax=8% of cost of lunch.
Tip=18% of cost of lunch.
To find:- Bill cost after 8% meals tax=?
Total lunch cost after 18% tip=?
Solution:_
Cost of lunch = $25.30 ---------(given)
Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax = [tex]25.30+(25.30\times \frac{8}{100} )[/tex]
Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax = [tex]25.30+(\frac{25.30\times 8}{100} )[/tex]
Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax = [tex]25.30+(\frac{202.4}{100} )[/tex]
Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax = 25.30+2.024
Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax = $27.324 ----------------(1)
Total cost with 18% tip = Cost of lunch with 8% meal tax + 18% tip of lunch cost
Total cost with 18% tip = [tex]27.324+(25.30\times \frac{18}{100} )[/tex] --(from 1)
Total cost with 18% tip = [tex]27.324+(\frac{25.30\times 18}{100} )[/tex]
Total cost with 18% tip = [tex]27.324+(\frac{455.40}{100} )[/tex]
Total cost with 18% tip = 27.324+4.554
Total cost with 18% tip = $31.878
Therefore Cost of the bill with 8% meals tax is $27.324 and
Cost of lunch with 18% tip is $31.878.
