Step-by-step explanation:

The initial cost of the meal is $100

she would need to pay Wildgrove sales tax of 13%

This means that the amount of tax that she would pay is

13/100 * 100 = 0.13 * 100 = $13

She would want to leave a 20% tip on the original $100. This means that the amount that she would leave as tip is

20/100 * 100 = 0.2 * 100 = $20.

Therefore, the total cost of Dakota's meal including the tax and the tip would be

100 + 13 + 20 = $133
