Answer:
Total cost of the meal is $ 27.32.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of the meal = $25.30
Tax levied on it = 8%
We have to find the total cost.
Total cost of the meal = Summation of cost of the meal and levied tax.
So,
We have to calculate the tax.
⇒ [tex]8\%\ of\ \$25.30[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{8}{100}\times \$25.30[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.08\times \$25.30[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\$2.024[/tex]
Tax imposed = [tex]\$2.024[/tex]
Now,
Total cost of the meal =Tax + Meal cost
⇒ [tex]\$(2.024+25.30)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\$27.324[/tex]
Total cost of the meal is $ 27.32.
