Pls help I’m really confused I’ll give you 35 pints Find the total payment,
given the cost, sales tax
rate, and tip rate.
Cost: $35.75
Sales Tax Rate: 5%
Tip: 15%

The total payment is thus $35.75 plus $7.11, or $42.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the sales tax doesn't affect the tip.  The sales tax is 5% of the cost and the tip is 15% of the before tax cost.  We calculate the tax and the tip separately, then add them together and finally add this sum to the cost.

Sales tax:  5% of $35.75:  $1.75

Tip:  15% of $35.75:  $5.36

Adding these two quantities results in $7.11.

The total payment is thus $35.75 plus $7.11, or $42.86
