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.)
If Allam ordered a $15 meal, how much money will he have to pay with tax and tip?

First you'll wanna find the amount of tax. To do so, you'll need to multiply the price of Allam's meal by the amount of tax in the state.

Divide 5% by 100 to turn it into a decimal. Then multiply it by 15.

5% ⇒ 0.05

15 × 0.05 = 0.75

The tax is $0.75. Now find the 15% tip by using the same method.

15% ⇒ 0.15

15 × 0.15 = 2.25

The tip is $2.25. Now add the three amounts together to find the total price of Allam's meal.

15 + 2.25 + 0.15 = 17.40

Allam will have to pay $17.40 for his meal.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
