Jessee buys his coworkers lunch from the local steakhouse the food cost 105.79 and sales tax is 9% jessee wants to leave a 20% tip based on pre tax amount how much will the total be including tax and tip

Answer 1

The pre-tax amount of the lunch is $105.79.

The sales tax on the lunch is 9% of $105.79, which is (9/100) * $105.79 = $9.52.

The total cost of the lunch including tax is $105.79 + $9.52 = $115.31.

Jessee wants to leave a 20% tip based on the pre-tax amount, which is (20/100) * $105.79 = $21.16.

So the total cost of the lunch including tax and tip is $115.31 + $21.16 = $136.47.
