Question

Luigi decided to grab lunch at Howell's Cafe with his friends. The bill for their meals was the $36.50. The restaurant charges a 7% tax. How much is the total bill?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$39.055

Step-by-step explanation:

100% + 7% = 107%

$\frac{y}{36.5} :\frac{107}{100}$

y · 100 = 107 · 36.5

100y = 3905.5

100y ÷ 100 = 3905.5 ÷ 100

y = 39.055
