The maxwell family goes out for dinner and the price of the meal is $60 the sales tax on the meal is 7% and they also want to leave a 15% tip what is the total cost of the meal

So we start with the $60 untouched.

Then we add the tax which is $60•0.07= 4.20 that is the tax

Then add the tax to the total $60 + $4.20= $64.20

Next we must add the tip so $60•0.15= 9.

Then $64.20 + $9.00 = $73.20

Total cost of meal $73.20

Any questions? :)
