Zorluk: OrtaTaxes and Tips

Read the scenario and calculate the requested value. Enter only the exact numerical value in the blank.

Cevap:An office manager orders a catered lunch for a team meeting. The food subtotal is $150.00\$150.00. The caterer adds a 6%6\% sales tax and an 18%18\% gratuity, both of which are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. The final total cost of the lunch is $\$【186】.

Cevap

The final total cost is $186.00\$186.00.
The correct total is obtained by recognizing that both the 6%6\% tax and the 18%18\% tip apply to the same base amount ($150.00\$150.00). Calculating 24%24\% of $150.00\$150.00 yields an additional $36.00\$36.00. Adding this to the original $150.00\$150.00 gives a final total of $186.00\$186.00.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the combined percentage rate for both the sales tax and the gratuity.
6%+18%=24%6\% + 18\% = 24\%
Since both the tax and the tip are based on the same original subtotal, their percentages can be added together before calculating.
2
Convert the combined percentage to a decimal and multiply by the subtotal to find the total additional cost.
150.00×0.24=36.00150.00 \times 0.24 = 36.00
This represents the total amount of money added to the bill for the tax and gratuity.
3
Add the additional cost to the original subtotal to find the final total.
150.00+36.00=186.00150.00 + 36.00 = 186.00
The final cost is the sum of the food subtotal and all applied fees.
