1	You buy $16 worth of food at a restaurant. The sales tax is 5.75% and you wish to tip 10%. What is the bill after tax, how much tip should you leave, and what is the total cost of everything after tip and tax?	Bill after tax: Tip owed: Total bill:
Solution Sales tax on food = total cost of food × sales tax = $16 × 5.75% = $0.92. Bill after tax = total cost of food + sales tax on food = $16 + $0.92 = $16.92 Tip owed = total cost of food × (tip)% = $16 × 10% = $16 × 0.1 = $1.60. Total bill = bill after tax + tip owed = $16.92 + $1.60 = $18.52.

Total bill = bill after tax + tip owed = $19.04 + $2.70 = $21.74.
