Okay, you ordered $23.91 worth of food and $9.27 worth of drinks. Add them and you get $33.18. Since the sales tax rate is 6%, this means that it is $1.99. Adding the tax to your meal would leave a total cost of $35.18. Have a great day!

Answer:

  $35.17

Step-by-step explanation:

The total bill at a restaurant is the sum of the charges in the various categories, along with tax and tip. The tax is figured on the total bill, excluding any tip. The tip may be figured on the original total bill (often the case), or it may be figured on the bill after tax is added. The problem statement will tell you what the base is for the tip.

The tax adds 6% to the bill, so effectively multiplies it by 1 +6% = 1.06

  total bill = ($23.91 +9.27)×1.06 = $33.18×1.06 ≈ $35.17

The total bill is $35.17.
