Chris went out to dinner. His total bill before tax and tip was $23.40. He was charged an additional 8% tax and he also paid 15% tip on the original bill

total cost = amount paid + tax paid + tip

total cost = $23.40 + 1.872 + $3.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Chris went out to dinner. His total bill before tax and tip was $23.40 He was charged an additional 8% tax and he also paid 15% tip on the original bill. Write an expression that will show the total cost including tax and tip.

total cost = amount paid + tax paid + tip

tax paid = 8% x $23.40

0.08 x $23.40 = $1.872

tip = 15% x original bill

0.15 x $23.40 = $3.51

total cost = $23.40 + 1.872 + $3.51
