Mrs. Rodriguez wants to pay her restaurant bill which is $24.00. A 6% tax is added by the waitress. If Mrs. Rodriguez wants to leave a 20% tip on the total including the tax, how much should she pay?
A. $20.35
B.$25.44
C.$30.53
D.$35.62

Respuesta :

C, because 6% of $24 is $1.44, so you get 25.44. 20% of 25.44 is 5.08 so you get 30.52 and 30.53 is the closest.

The total price she should pay including tax and tip percentage is option (C) $30.53 is the correct answer.

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. Percentage can be calculated by dividing the value by the total value, and then multiplying the result by 100.

For the given situation,

Restaurant bill = $24.00

Tax percentage =  6% = 0.06

Tip percentage = 20%

6% tax is added to the bill,

Total price = [tex]24+24(0.06)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]24+1.44[/tex]

⇒ [tex]25.44[/tex]

20% tip on the total including the tax,

⇒ [tex]25.44+25.44(0.20)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]25.44+5.088[/tex]

⇒ [tex]30.528[/tex] ≈ [tex]30.53[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the total price she should pay including tax and tip percentage is option (C) $30.53 is the correct answer.
