If you go out with 3 friends and your meal was 72.50$ there is 6.75% sales tax and tip the waiter 15% how much should each person pay

Answer 1

tip = 72.50(.15) = ...
tax = 72.50(.0675) = ..
Add these two to $72.50 , then divide that sum by 4

or,
sum of rates = .15+.0675 = .2175
Final cost per person = 72.50(1.2175)/4 = .... (should be same as above)

(hope you don't tip on the tax)

Answer 2

It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them. "YOUR meal was $72.50"?

$72.50 * .0675 = $4.89

72.50 + 4.89 = 77.39

77.39 (.15) = 10.88

(77.39 + 10.88)/3 = ?

Answer 3

I goofed.

(77.39 + 10.88)/4 = ?

I tip on the tax, making it closer to 20%

Answer 4

Don’t get it

Answer 5

First find the tax:$72.50x6.75%=$4.89375, but because money can't be that large, $4.89. Now add that to the original amount to get your new amount with the tax: $72.50+$4.89=$77.3, Now you have the new amount with the tax so you have to do the same thing but with the 15% tip: $72.50x15%=$11.6088 or $11.60. Now add that: $77.39+$11.60=$88.99
Now that you have the total amount altogether, you have to make you're friends pay too so that you won't have to spend that much money on food for you guys, so divide the $88.99 by 4 (you AND the three friends) to get $22.2475/$22.24 per person to pay. I hope this helped!
