Answer 1

To calculate the final bill including sales tax and tip, let's go through the steps one by one.

1. Calculate Sales Tax:

   • Bill before tax: $19.34
   • Sales tax rate: 5.75%

   Sales tax = Bill before tax × Sales tax rate \[ Sales , tax = 19.34 \times 0.0575 = 1.11 \quad \text{(rounded to the nearest hundredth)} \]

2. Calculate Total Bill Before Tip:

   • Total bill before tip = Bill before tax + Sales tax \[ Total , bill , before , tip = 19.34 + 1.11 = 20.45 \]

3. Calculate Tip:

   • Tip rate: 18% Tip = Total bill before tip × Tip rate \[ Tip = 20.45 \times 0.18 = 3.68 \quad \text{(rounded to the nearest hundredth)} \]

4. Calculate Total Bill After Tip:

   • Total bill after tip = Total bill before tip + Tip \[ Total , bill , after , tip = 20.45 + 3.68 = 24.13 \]

Now we have:

• Before tip: $20.45
• After tip: $24.13

So the correct response is:

Before tip: $20.45 After tip: $24.13
