Damon treated his sister to lunch while visiting her in Weston. Thier lunch cost $40, and the sales tax in Weston is 15%. If Damon left a 20% tip on the $40, how much in total did he pay?

Respuesta :

Given:

Cost of lunch = $40

Rate of sales tax = 15%

Rate of tip = 20% on $40.

To find:

The amount Damon pay.

Solution:

We have,

Cost of lunch = $40

Rate of sales tax = 15%

[tex]\text{Sales tax}=\dfrac{15}{100}\times 40[/tex]

[tex]\text{Sales tax}=6[/tex]

Rate of tip = 20% on $40

[tex]\text{Tip}=\dfrac{20}{100}\times 40[/tex]

[tex]\text{Tip}=8[/tex]

Now,

Total amount = Amount + Sales tax + Tip

                      = [tex]40+6+8[/tex]

                      = [tex]54[/tex]

Therefore, Damon pays total $54.
