Answer:
The total cost is $95.32.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total came to $76.75. There is an 8% sales tax and 15% tip.
Now, to find the total cost.
8% sales tax is there so we calculate the amount after adding sales tax:
$76.75 + 8% of $76.75
[tex]76.75+\frac{8}{100}\times 76.75[/tex]
[tex]76.75+0.08\times 76.75[/tex]
[tex]76.75+6.14[/tex]
[tex]82.89[/tex]
The cost after sales tax is $82.89.
Now, the cost after 15% tip:
$82.89 + 15% of $82.89
[tex]82.89+\frac{15}{100}\times 82.89[/tex]
[tex]82.89+0.15\times 82.89[/tex]
[tex]82.89+12.43[/tex]
[tex]95.32[/tex]
The cost after the tip is $95.32.
Therefore, the total cost is $95.32.
