Answer 4

who are you asking

Answer 5

Whoever is interested in learning how to answer this question.

Answer 6

well 7.5% of $10 is 0.75 and then you have 10.75

Answer 7

Before we actually do calculations, let's see what we need to do.
We have a $10 bill (no tax & no tip)
We need to add 7.5% tax and 15% tip.
We need to find 7.5% of $10 (the tax)
and we need to find 15% of $10 (the tip)
and then we add $10, the tax and the tip.

Answer 8

Great. So far, you already found that the the tax is $0.75, and you added the tax, so the meal + tax is $10.75

Now we need to find the tip.
The tip is 15% of $10.
You can do this 2 ways.

1. Just find 15% of $10
15% of 10 = 15/100 * 10 =

2. Notice that 15% is exactly 2 times the 7.5% tax, so the tip is twice the tax.
2 * 0.75 =

Both ways will give the same amount.

Answer 9

The tip ends up being $1.50
$10.75 + $1.50 = $12.25, not $12.36

Answer 10

Correct.
Now you add $10.75 + $1.5
What do you get?

Answer 11

12.25
wow you are so smart
