A restaurant customer left ​$2.60 as a tip. The tax 6% was and the tip was ​20% of the cost including tax.
a. Which information is not needed to compute the bill after tax and​ tip?
b. What was the total​ bill?

Respuesta :

Based on the tip left and its proportion of the total bill, the following answers are true:

  • a. The tax rate is not needed to compute the after tax and tip bill
  • b. The total bill is $13.00

A tip of $2.60 was left and this is said to be 20% of the bill including the tax.

The total bill is therefore:

Tip = Total bill x 20%

2.60 = Total bill x 20%

Total bill = 2.60 / 20%

= $13.00

We can see that the tax rate was not needed to compute the total bill.

In conclusion, the tax rate was irrelevant and the total bill was $13.00.
