5 answers

First, we need to calculate the sales tax amount.

Sales Tax = Food Cost * Tax Rate
Sales Tax = $105.79 * 9% = $9.52

Next, we need to calculate the tip amount based on the pretax amount.

Tip Amount = Food Cost * Tip Rate
Tip Amount = $105.79 * 20% = $21.16

Finally, we can calculate the total amount including tax and tip.

Total = Food Cost + Sales Tax + Tip Amount
Total = $105.79 + $9.52 + $21.16 = $136.47

The total bill, including sales tax and a 20% tip, will be $136.47.
are u sure?
Apologies for the error. Let me recalculate to make sure.

Food Cost: $105.79
Sales Tax Rate: 9%
Tip Rate: 20%

Sales Tax Amount: $105.79 * 9% = $9.52
Tip Amount: $105.79 * 20% = $21.16

Total Amount including tax and tip:
Food Cost + Sales Tax Amount + Tip Amount
= $105.79 + $9.52 + $21.16
= $136.47

Yes, I can confirm that the total bill, including sales tax and a 20% tip, will be $136.47.
