Question

1. 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:

Step1: Calculate tax amount

Tax = $21.60 \times 7\% = 21.60 \times 0.07 = 1.512$

Step2: Find bill after tax

Bill after tax = $21.60 + 1.512 = 23.112$

Step3: Calculate tip amount

Tip = $23.112 \times 15\% = 23.112 \times 0.15 = 3.4668$

Step4: Find total cost

Total cost = $23.112 + 3.4668$

Answer:

$26.58$ (rounded to the nearest cent)
