Q. Allam just finished a great meal at a restaurant in Wisconsin. The sales tax in Wisconsin is

5 \%

, and it is customary to leave a tip of

15 \%

for the server. The tip amount is calculated on the price of the meal before the tax is applied. (Sales tax is not calculated on tips.)

\newline

If Allam ordered a

\$ 15

meal, how much money will he have to pay with tax and tip?

\newline

\$

Calculate Sales Tax: We know: $\newline$ Meal price: $\$15$ $\newline$ Sales tax rate: $5\%$ $\newline$ Tip percentage: $15\%$ $\newline$ First, we calculate the sales tax on the meal. $\newline$ $\$15 \times 0.05 = \$0.75$ $\newline$ Sales tax = $\$0.75$
Calculate Tip: Next, we calculate the tip based on the original meal price. $\$15 \times 0.15 = \$2.25$ Tip amount = $\$2.25$
Find Total Amount: Now, we add the original meal price, the sales tax, and the tip to find the total amount Allam will have to pay. $\newline$ Meal price + Sales tax + Tip = Total amount $\newline$ $\$15 + \$0.75 + \$2.25 = \$18$ $\newline$ Total amount = $\$18$
