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?(1 point)

Question

answer correctly

Answer 1

To find the total cost including tax and tip, we can break the problem down into a few steps:

1. Calculate the Sales Tax: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Cost} \times \text{Tax Rate} \] \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 105.79 \times 0.09 = 9.4781 \approx 9.48 \text{ (rounded to two decimal places)} \]

2. Calculate the Total Cost including Tax: \[ \text{Total Cost with Tax} = \text{Cost} + \text{Sales Tax} \] \[ \text{Total Cost with Tax} = 105.79 + 9.48 = 115.27 \]

3. Calculate the Tip (based on pre-tax amount): \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Cost} \times \text{Tip Rate} \] \[ \text{Tip} = 105.79 \times 0.20 = 21.158 \approx 21.16 \text{ (rounded to two decimal places)} \]

4. Calculate the Total Amount including Tip: \[ \text{Total Amount} = \text{Total Cost with Tax} + \text{Tip} \] \[ \text{Total Amount} = 115.27 + 21.16 = 136.43 \]

Thus, the total amount Jesse will pay, including tax and tip, is $136.43.

Answer 2

are u absolutely sure

Answer 3

Let's double-check the calculations step by step to ensure accuracy:

1. Cost of the Food: $105.79

2. Sales Tax Calculation: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Cost} \times \text{Tax Rate} = 105.79 \times 0.09 = 9.4781 \] Rounded to two decimal places, the Sales Tax is $9.48.

3. Total Cost including Tax: \[ \text{Total Cost with Tax} = \text{Cost} + \text{Sales Tax} = 105.79 + 9.48 = 115.27 \]

4. Tip Calculation (20% of the pre-tax amount): \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Cost} \times \text{Tip Rate} = 105.79 \times 0.20 = 21.158 \] Rounded to two decimal places, the Tip is $21.16.

5. Total Amount including Tip: \[ \text{Total Amount} = \text{Total Cost with Tax} + \text{Tip} = 115.27 + 21.16 = 136.43 \]

All calculations have been confirmed. The total amount Jesse will pay, including tax and tip, is indeed $136.43. Thank you for your patience!

Answer 5

Let’s re-evaluate the calculations again to ensure everything is accurate:

1. Cost of the Food:

   • Pre-tax cost: $105.79

2. Sales Tax Calculation (9%): \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 105.79 \times 0.09 = 9.4781 \] Rounded to two decimal places, the Sales Tax is $9.48.

3. Total Cost including Tax: \[ \text{Total Cost with Tax} = 105.79 + 9.48 = 115.27 \]

4. Tip Calculation (20% on the pre-tax amount): \[ \text{Tip} = 105.79 \times 0.20 = 21.158 \] Rounded to two decimal places, the Tip is $21.16.

5. Total Amount including Tip: \[ \text{Total Amount} = 115.27 + 21.16 = 136.43 \]

Based on the calculations, the total amount is confirmed to be $136.43.

If you're seeing $136.47, please provide the steps you’re using, and let's identify where the difference is happening.
