Question

owen and jesse go to a restaurant for breakfast. a 7% sales tax is applied to their $21.60 bill. if owen and jesse add a 15% tip after the tax is applied, what is the total cost, including tip?

Explanation:

Calculate the bill after sales tax

$$ \text{Bill with Tax} = 21.60 \times (1 + 0.07) = 21.60 \times 1.07 = 23.112 $$

Calculate the total cost including tip

$$ \text{Total Cost} = 23.112 \times (1 + 0.15) = 23.112 \times 1.15 = 26.5788 $$

Round to the nearest cent

$$ \text{Total Cost} \approx 26.58 $$
