Sophia went into dinner with friends. Before a tax of 5% Sophia’s meal cost $20. Sylvia calculated a 20% tip after the tax have an attitude what was the tax and the tip, and then the total of everything together

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the amount of tax:

Before tax: $20
Tax rate: 5%

Tax amount = 0.05 * $20 = $1

Now, let's calculate the tip after the tax and before tax:

Tip rate: 20%

Amount after tax: $20 + $1 = $21

Tip amount = 0.20 * $21 = $4.20

Now, let's calculate the total amount for the meal, including tax and tip:

Total amount = $20 + $1 + $4.20 = $25.20

So, the tax was $1, the tip was $4.20, and the total amount for everything was $25.20.
