Question 985791: Allam just finished a great meal at a restuarant in Wisconsin. The sales tax in Wisconsin is 5%, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15% for the server. The tip amount is calculated on the price of the meal before the tax is applied (sales tax is not calculated on tips) If Allam ordered a $15 meal, how much money will he have to pay with tax and tip? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The tax is 5%, so that is $0.75 on $15.
The tip is 15%, so that is 3 times 5% or $2.25
Add the three: $15.00+$0.75+$2.25=$18.00
