While on a business trip to Millersburg, Camilla treated her co-workers to a meal that cost $300. Camilla knew that when the bill came, she would need to pay Millersburg sales tax of 8% and would want to leave a 15% tip on the original $300. Including tax and tip, how much did Camilla's meal cost?
The sales tax for the meal is calculated by taking the meal cost of $300 and multiplying it by 8/100 = $<<300*8/100=24>>24.
The tip for the meal is calculated by taking the meal cost of $300 and multiplying it by 15/100 = $<<300*15/100=45>>45.
Adding the sales tax, the tip, and the meal cost we find the total cost of the meal was $300+$24+$45 = $<<300+24+45=369>>369. Answer: \boxed{369}.
To calculate the total cost of Camilla's meal including tax and tip, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the sales tax amount
$300 * 8% = $24
Step 2: Calculate the tip amount
$300 * 15% = $45
Step 3: Add the sales tax and tip to the original cost of the meal
$300 + $24 + $45 = $369
Therefore, Camilla's meal, including tax and tip, cost $369.
To find out how much Camilla's meal cost including tax and tip, we need to calculate the amount for each component separately and then add them together.
First, let's calculate the sales tax amount. We know that the Millersburg sales tax rate is 8% and the cost of the meal is $300. To find the tax amount, multiply $300 by 8% (which is 0.08):
Tax amount = $300 * 0.08 = $24
Next, let's calculate the amount for the 15% tip on the original $300 bill. To find the tip amount, multiply $300 by 15% (which is 0.15):
Tip amount = $300 * 0.15 = $45
Now, let's add the original bill, tax amount, and tip amount together to find the total cost of the meal:
Total cost = Original bill + Tax amount + Tip amount
Total cost = $300 + $24 + $45 = $369
Therefore, Camilla's meal cost, including tax and tip, was $369.
