After eating as much as he could consume the bill ended up being $317.24( they were really good enchiladas, and there were alot of them)The tax rate is 8.5 % and a gratuity of 15% was automatically added ( after tax) to the bill. Because Mr . Register really liked the enchiladas , he left an additional $25 on the table. How much did he end up spending on enchiladas that night?
What do you think? Ill help you
317.24(1.085)(1.15)+25.00
To find out how much Mr. Register spent on the enchiladas that night, we need to calculate the total bill before the gratuity and the additional $25.
Step 1: Calculate the total bill after tax:
First, we need to calculate the tax amount by multiplying the bill amount by the tax rate:
Tax amount = $317.24 * 8.5% or 0.085
Now, we calculate the total bill after tax by adding the tax amount to the bill amount:
Total bill after tax = $317.24 + Tax amount
Step 2: Calculate the gratuity amount:
Since the gratuity is added after tax, we need to calculate it based on the total bill after tax. The gratuity rate is 15%:
Gratuity amount = Total bill after tax * 15% or 0.15
Step 3: Calculate the final bill:
Finally, we add the gratuity amount and the additional $25 to the total bill after tax:
Final bill = Total bill after tax + Gratuity amount + $25
By performing these calculations, we can determine how much Mr. Register spent on the enchiladas that night.
