Sammy served food to a group at a restaurant. The total cost of the food was $62.00. The sales tax is 6% of the cost of food. The group asked Sammy to add 20% of the original cost of food for a tip. What was the total cost for the group?

Respuesta :

Total cost = 62 + (6% of 62) + (20% of 62)

-  Find 6% of 62:
1% = 62 / 100 = 0.62
0.62 x 6 = 3.72

-  Find 20% of 62:
10% = 6.2
6.2 x 2 = 12.4

Add everything together:
62 + 12.4 + 3.72 = 78.12

The total cost was $78.12

Answer:

$53.76
