    Service charge for Julia at a beauty salon = $72.60

    The rate of sales tax taken = 8%

    Percentage of tips she added to the service charge before sales tax = 20%

    Then amount of tips given by Julia = (20/100) * 72.60

    = (1/5) * 72.60

    = 14.52 dollars

    Then the amount in total paid by Julia before adding service tax = (72.60 + 14.52) dollars

    = 87.12 dollars

    Now the sales tax of 8% has to be calculated on the amount of $87.12.

    Then

    Amount of sales tax given by Julia = (8/100) * 87.12

    = 696.96/100

    = 6.969

    = 6.97 dollars

    So the total amount paid by Julia for the service at the salon = (87.12 + 6.97) dollars

    = 94.07 dollars

    Julia paid a total of $94.07 for the service she received at the salon.
