yea

AcornTheNut:

alright gimme a sec

AcornTheNut:

so first you gotta divide the sales tax by 100

AcornTheNut:

which gets you 0.08

AcornTheNut:

you then gotta multiply that by the food bill before the sales tax (62 x 0.08)

AcornTheNut:

which gets you the tax amount

AcornTheNut:

which is 4.96

AcornTheNut:

so you add that onto 62 (62+4.96)

AcornTheNut:

so then the tip is easy you just do 66.96 + 15

AcornTheNut:

which gets you the answer $81.96

AcornTheNut:

so the overall cost for the food with the tip is $81.96

AcornTheNut:
