Jessie bought his co-workers lunch from the local steakhouse. Sales tax is 8% and he wants to leave a 35% tip. Both tax and tip are calculated based on the total amount of the bill. What was his grand total?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the sales tax. The sales tax is 8% of the total bill.
Total tax = Total bill * tax rate = $100 * 0.08 = $8

Next, we need to calculate the tip. The tip is 35% of the total bill.
Total tip = Total bill * tip rate = $100 * 0.35 = $35

Now, we can calculate the grand total by adding the total bill, tax, and tip together.
Grand total = Total bill + Total tax + Total tip
= $100 + $8 + $35
= $143

Thus, the grand total of the bill, including sales tax and tip, is $143. Answer: \boxed{143}.
