Allam just finished a great meal at a restaurant in wisconsin. the sales tax in wisconsin is 5\%5%5, percent, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15\%15%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$15dollar sign, 15 meal, how much money will he have to pay with tax and tip?

answer:

20 20

step-by-step explanation:

answer:

20 20 is your correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
