First, we need to calculate the amount of tax Jesse will need to pay. To do this, we multiply the food cost by the sales tax rate: $105.79 * 0.09 = $9.53
Now we need to calculate the pre-tax amount Jesse will use to calculate the tip. To do this, we subtract the tax amount from the food cost: $105.79 - $9.53 = $96.26
Now we need to calculate the tip amount. To do this, we multiply the pre-tax amount by the tip rate: $96.26 * 0.20 = $19.25
Now we add the tax amount and the tip amount to the food cost to find the total cost: $105.79 + $9.53 + $19.25 = $134.57. Answer: \boxed{134.57}.
Jesse buys his coworkers lunch from the local steakhouse. The food costs $105.79, and the sales tax rate is 9%. Jesse wants to leave a 20% tip based on the pre-tax amount. How much will the total be, including tax and tiP!

Apologies for any confusion. Let's recalculate the answer.
The food cost is $105.79. The sales tax rate is 9%, so the tax amount is $105.79 * 0.09 = $9.52 (rounded to the nearest cent).
To calculate the tip, we need to use the pre-tax amount, which is $105.79 - $9.52 = $96.27.
The tip is 20% of the pre-tax amount, so the tip amount is $96.27 * 0.20 = $19.25.
To find the total cost, including tax and tip, we add the cost of food, tax, and tip: $105.79 + $9.52 + $19.25 = $134.56.
Therefore, the total cost, including tax and tip, is $134.56.

I apologize for any confusion. Here's another way to calculate the total cost, including tax and tip:
The food cost is $105.79.
The tax rate is 9%, so the tax amount is $105.79 * 0.09 = $9.52 (rounded to the nearest cent).
To calculate the tip based on the pre-tax amount, we need to find the pre-tax amount by subtracting the tax amount from the food cost: $105.79 - $9.52 = $96.27.
The tip is 20% of the pre-tax amount, so the tip amount is $96.27 * 0.20 = $19.25.
To find the total cost, including tax and tip, we add the cost of food, tax, and tip: $105.79 + $9.52 + $19.25 = $134.56.
Therefore, the total cost, including tax and tip, is $134.56.
