Answer:

$15.17

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the value for the sales tax:

[tex]11.90 \times \frac{9}{100 } = 1.07 [/tex]

we then add the value for the sales tax ($1.07) to the initial bill:

[tex]11.90 + 1.07 = 12.97[/tex]

We were instructed to calculate the tip after the sales tax was added so:

[tex]12.97 \times \frac{17}{100} = 2.20[/tex]

after we will add the value for the tip to the value that we have for the bill ( this is the new value that includes the sales tax) to find the total cost:

[tex]12.97+ 2.20 = 15.17[/tex]

Therefore the total cost for his mean is $15.17
