1You buy $20 worth of food at a restaurant. The sales tax is 8% and you wish to tip 10%. What is the
bill after tax, how much tip should you leave, and what is the total cost of everything after tip and tax?
Bill after tax:
Tip owed:
Total bill:
Solution
Sales tax on food = total cost of food × sales tax = $20 × 8% = $1.60.
Bill after tax = total cost of food + sales tax on food = $20 + $1.60 = $21.60
Tip owed = total cost of food × (tip)% = $20 × 10% = $20 × 0.1 = $2.00.

Total bill = bill after tax + tip owed = $21.60 + $2.00 = $23.60.
