Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the tax amount

The tax rate is (6.25%=0.0625). The tax amount is (0.0625\times393.16). [0.0625\times393.16 = 24.5725]

Step2: Calculate the tip amount

The tip rate is (18% = 0.18). The tip amount is (0.18\times393.16). [0.18\times393.16=70.7688]

Step3: Calculate the total cost

The total cost is the sum of the original cost, tax amount and tip amount. [393.16+24.5725 + 70.7688=488.5013\approx488.50]

Answer:

(488.50)
