The waltz family went to dinner and the food total was $48.52 if their tax rate is 6.5% how much is the total bill round to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

To calculate the total bill, you first need to find the tax amount and then add it to the food total.

1. Calculate the tax amount: \[ \text{Tax} = \text{Food Total} \times \text{Tax Rate} = 48.52 \times 0.065 = 3.1523 \]

2. Round the tax amount to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Tax} \approx 3.15 \]

3. Calculate the total bill: \[ \text{Total Bill} = \text{Food Total} + \text{Tax} = 48.52 + 3.15 = 51.67 \]

So, the total bill is $51.67.
