The price of the jones meal is 65.80. The sales tax is 6.5 percent of the meal and the tip is 20 percent. how much money did did the family pay for the meal?

Normally you do

find tax of meal

find tip of meal not include tax

add them

percent means partts ouf ot 100 so

6.5%=6.5/100=0.065

and 20%=20/100=0.2

so

tax of meal=65.8 times 0.065=4.277

round to 4.28

tip=65.8 times 0.2=13.16

add

65.8+4.28+13.16=$83.24
