Answer: Amount that the Smith family need to pay for the meal including tax and tip = 53.47.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Price of the meal = 43.45
Rate of sales tax = 7%
Amount becomes after the sales tax is given by
[tex]\frac{7}{100}\times 43.45\\\\\frac{304.15}{100}\\\\=3.0415\\\\\text{Amount}=43.45+3.0415=46.4915[/tex]
Rate of tips over meal and sales = 15%
Amount of tips is given by
[tex]\frac{15}{100}\times 46.4915\\\\=0.15\times 46.4915\\\\=6.974[/tex]
So, Amount becomes
[tex]46.4915+6.974\\\\=53.465\\\\=53.47[/tex]
Hence, Amount that the Smith family need to pay for the meal including tax and tip = 53.47.
