To find the delivery cost with sales tax and tip, we can follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the sales tax** on the order:
- Sales tax rate = 4.75% = 0.0475
- Sales tax = $1,500 × 0.0475 = $71.25
2. **Calculate the total cost including sales tax**:
- Total cost = Order amount + Sales tax
- Total cost = $1,500 + $71.25 = $1,571.25
3. **Calculate the tip** on the total cost (including sales tax):
- Tip rate = 8% = 0.08
- Tip = Total cost × Tip rate = $1,571.25 × 0.08 = $125.70
4. **Calculate the final cost including tip**:
- Final cost = Total cost + Tip
- Final cost = $1,571.25 + $125.70 = $1,696.95
### Summary:
- The approximate delivery cost with sales tax and tip can be estimated as **$1,700** (rounding to the nearest hundred).
- The exact cost, rounding to the nearest hundredth, is **$1,696.95**.
Therefore:
- Approximate delivery cost: **$1,700**
- Exact cost: **$1,696.95**
1. **Calculate the sales tax** on the order:
