Allam just finished a great meal at a restaurant in Wisconsin. The sales tax in Wisconsin is 5%percent, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15%, percent 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?

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the tax

tax = 15 dollars *.05 tax rate

=.75

Then find the tip

tip = 15 dollars *.15 tip rate

=2.25

Then add the bill + tax + tip

total = 15+.75+2.25 = 18
