Allam just finished a great meal at a restaurant in Wisconsin. The sales tax in Wisconsin is 5%, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15% for the server. The tip amount is calculated on the price of the meal before the tax is applied. (Sales tax is not calculated on tips.)

If Allam ordered a $15 meal, how much money will he have to pay with tax and tip?

Bryson Thomas · Answer 1

15*0.05=0.75 15*0.15=2.25 are them together 15+2.25+0.75 = $18

Pamela Glass · Answer 2

15x0.05=0.75, price multiplied by percentage (5 divided by 100)

15x0.15=2.25, price multiplied by percentage (15 divided by 100)

Total allam will pay=0.75+2.25+15
