You and your friends went to a local Underline StartsauthenticUnderline Ends Mexican restaurant over five days. Below are the receipts for each of the five days.
Day 1: $4.89 + $5.34 + $3.46 + $2.99 + $3.25 + $1.99, tip: $2.19, tax: $1.53
Day 2: $5.37 + $6.23 + $4.67 + $1.99 + $2.54 + $3.25, tip: $3.61, tax: $1.68
Day 3: $6.23 + $4.36 + $3.62 + $2.19 + $3.50 + $2.99, tip: $3.43, tax: $1.60
Day 4: $9.89 + $8.75 + $5.98 + $4.15 + $3.99 + $4.24, tip: $5.55, tax: $2.59
Day 5: $9.29 + $9.75 + $7.93 + $5.05 + $2.98 + $3.54, tip: $5.78, tax: $2.70
Choose one of those days and find the total that includes tip and tax.
Let's take a look at Karen's post:
I have chosen day five. If I add $9.29 + $9.75 + $7.93 + $5.05 + $2.98 + $3.54, I would get $38.54. Then adding the tax and tip, I would get $47.02.
Even though Karen wrote what was needed, how can her post be more interesting?
Choose one of the five days, find the final total.
Comment on at least two classmates' posts and find how much tax and tip added to the bill. Include in your comments how the sum of prices on a menu at a sit down restaurant does not represent the final cost.
I have chosen Day 3. If I add $6.23 + $4.36 + $3.62 + $2.19 + $3.50 + $2.99, the total comes out to be $23.89. Adding the tax of $1.60 and the tip of $3.43, the final total would be $28.92.
Comment 1: I agree with Karen's post about Day 5. The total of $38.54 seems correct. Adding the tax of $2.70 and the tip of $5.78 brings the final total to $47.02. It's interesting to see how the tax and tip can significantly increase the overall cost.
Comment 2: Good choice on Day 3! Adding the prices of the items, the total comes out to be $23.89, just like you mentioned. The tax of $1.60 and the tip of $3.43 add up to a final total of $28.92. It's important to remember that the sum of prices on a menu at a sit-down restaurant does not include the additional costs like tax and tip, which can make a difference in the final bill.
