help me please!!!!!!kacey and her three friends went out for lunch, and they wanted to leave a 15% tip. the receipt shown below lists the lunch total before tax and tip.

bbq burger w/cheese 9.99
chicken finger baske 8.99
mushroom burger 10.99
chili cheese fries 8.99
total:$38.96

the sales tax rate in Pleasantville is 8.75%.use mental math to estimate the approximate total cost of the bill including tax and tip to the nearest dollar. Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Respuesta :

I’m pretty sure that tax comes before tip so
38.96•.0875=3.409
38.96+3.409=42.37
42.37•.15=6.3555
43.37+6.36=49.73
Total costs: 49.73
