Mr. Jaskson's lunch cost $8.00 plus 8% sales tax. He tipped the server 15% of total bill after sales tax was added. How much did Mr. Jackson spend in all?
8 * 1.08 * 1.15 = ?
$9.94......but I am not very good to explain how I got the answer.
Ms.Sue......
8 + 8*0.08 = x
x*0.15 = y
x+y= it will be answer
To find out how much Mr. Jackson spent in total, we need to calculate the sales tax and the tip amount separately, and then add them to the original cost of his lunch.
Let's first calculate the sales tax amount. The lunch cost is given as $8.00, and the sales tax is 8% of this cost.
Sales Tax = 8% of $8.00
Sales Tax = (8/100) * $8.00
Sales Tax = $0.64
So, the sales tax amount is $0.64.
Next, let's calculate the tip amount. The server receives a tip of 15% of the total bill after the sales tax is added. To calculate the total bill, we need to add the original cost of the lunch and the sales tax.
Total Bill = Lunch Cost + Sales Tax
Total Bill = $8.00 + $0.64
Total Bill = $8.64
Now, we can calculate the tip amount. The tip is 15% of the total bill.
Tip = 15% of $8.64
Tip = (15/100) * $8.64
Tip = $1.296
So, the tip amount is $1.296.
Finally, to find out how much Mr. Jackson spent in total, we need to add the original cost of his lunch, the sales tax amount, and the tip amount.
Total Cost = Lunch Cost + Sales Tax + Tip
Total Cost = $8.00 + $0.64 + $1.296
Total Cost = $9.936
Therefore, Mr. Jackson spent a total of $9.936.
