Nina paid the bill for dinner with her family. The total cost of the food was $65, and the restaurant added an 8 percent sales tax, $5.20, to the bill. Nina wants to pay a 15 percent tip on the total bill including sales tax. What is the amount of the tip? $8.97 $9.75 $10.53 $14.95
Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nina paid the bill for dinner costing = $65
Restaurant added the sales tax = $5.20
Total bill including taxes Nina paid = $65 + $5.20
= $70.20
Nina wants to pay a 15% tip on the total bill including sales tax.
Tip = 15% of $70.20
= 70.20×0.15
= $10.53
Therefore, Nina will pay $10.53 as a tip.
Option C will be the answer.
