The Hu family goes out for lunch, and the price of the meal is $53. The sales tax on the meal is 7%, and the family also leaves a 20% tip on the pre-tax amount. What is the total cost of the meal?
if ders choices dat would help
but wat...
We gon find out these tax sales first, so the tax sells is 7% so we wanna multiply the cost of the meal by that after turning the tax sells into a decimal \[7 \div100=0.07\] now multiply \[0.07\times 53=3.71\] So,your total tax sells is 3.71 Now we find the total tip amount by multiply price of the meal by tip rate but we need to make the tip a decimal\[20\div 100=0.20\] Now multiply \[0.20\times 53=10.60\] Now to find the total cost u add \[53+10.60+3.71=(blank)\]
(do u understand?)
