Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Let the meal’s printed price (before adding sales tax and tip) be  
$$
M = \$114.35.
$$

**a. Sales Tax Amount**

The sales tax rate is  
$$
r = 1.95\% = 0.0195.
$$
Thus, the sales tax amount is  
$$
\text{Tax} = M \times r = 114.35 \times 0.0195 \approx \$2.28.
$$

**b. Tip Amount**

They leave a tip equal to $$25\%$$ of the meal cost (excluding tax); that is,  
$$
\text{Tip rate} = 25\% = 0.25.
$$
The tip amount is then  
$$
\text{Tip} = M \times 0.25 = 114.35 \times 0.25 \approx \$28.59.
$$

**c. Total Price Including Tax and Tip**

The total is the sum of the base meal cost, the sales tax, and the tip:  
$$
\text{Total} = M + \text{Tax} + \text{Tip} \approx 114.35 + 2.28 + 28.59 = \$145.22.
$$
a. The sales tax amount is \$2.28. b. They left a tip of \$28.59. c. The total price of their date night meal, including tax and tip, is \$145.22.
