Problema Solution
A couple does not wish to spend more than $60 for dinner at a restaurant. If a sales tax of 6% is added to the bill and they plan to tip 15% after the tax has been added, what is the most they can spend for the meal?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the cost of the meal
60 >= x + 0.06x + 0.15(x + 0.06x)
x <= 49.22
the most they can spend for the meal is $49.22
