Louis ordered a family pack meals to be delivered to his home from a local restaurant. The price of the meal before tax was $65, and the sales tax rate was 5.8%. When the mail was delivered, Louis also gave the driver a 18% tip, based on the pretax amount. Select an amount for each blank to make the sentence true. 

Sagot :

Given:

The price of the meal before tax = $65

The sales tax = 5.8% = 0.058

Tip = 18% = 0.18

Note: The tip based on the pretax amount

so, Tip = 18% of 65 =

[tex]0.18\cdot65=11.7[/tex]

The sales tax = 5.8% of 65 =

[tex]\text{0}.058\cdot65=3.77[/tex]

so, the total cost =

[tex]65+3.77+11.7=80.47[/tex]

so, the answer is:

The amount of the tip that Lewis gave the driver was $11.7, and the total cost of the meal including tax and tip was $80.47
