Matt and Michelle enjoy a
romantic evening at The Golden Lamp.
They spent $40. The waiter has done an
excellent job, and they want to leave him a
nice tip of 15%. As generous restaurant
patrons, they will tip the waiter after the tax
of 7% is calculated. What amount will Matt
put on his credit card for the total bill,
plus tax and tip?
Can you calculate 40*(1.07)*(1.15) ?
To find the amount that Matt will put on his credit card for the total bill, including tax and tip, we need to calculate the tax, tip, and add them to the original bill amount.
First, let's calculate the tax on the bill amount. The tax rate is given as 7%, so we can find the tax by multiplying the bill amount by 0.07.
Tax = 40 * 0.07
Tax = $2.80
Now, let's calculate the tip on the bill amount plus tax. The tip rate is given as 15%. We need to find 15% of the total amount, including tax. To do this, we can add the bill amount and tax together and then multiply by 0.15.
Total amount including tax = Bill amount + Tax
Total amount including tax = $40 + $2.80
Total amount including tax = $42.80
Tip = Total amount including tax * 0.15
Tip = $42.80 * 0.15
Tip = $6.42
Finally, we can find the total amount Matt will put on his credit card by adding the bill amount, tax, and tip together.
Total bill amount = Bill amount + Tax + Tip
Total bill amount = $40 + $2.80 + $6.42
Total bill amount = $49.22
Therefore, Matt will put $49.22 on his credit card for the total bill, plus tax and tip.
