Q. Lucy goes to a restaurant and the subtotal on the bill was x dollars. A tax of 6% is applied to the bill. Lucy decides to leave a tip of 24% on the entire bill (including the tax). Write an expression in terms of x that represents the total amount that Lucy paid.Answer:
Calculate Tax Amount: First, we need to calculate the tax amount that is added to the subtotal. The tax rate is 6%. Tax amount = x×0.06
Find Total Bill: Next, we add the tax amount to the subtotal to find the total bill amount before the tip.Total bill before tip = x+(x×0.06)
Calculate Tip Amount: Now, we need to calculate the tip amount. Lucy decides to leave a tip of 24% on the entire bill, which includes the tax.Tip amount = (x+(x×0.06))×0.24
Calculate Total Amount Paid: Finally, we add the tip amount to the total bill before tip to find the total amount Lucy paid.Total amount paid = x+(x×0.06) + \(x + (x \times 0.06) \times 0.24\)
