The hu family goes out for lunch, and the price of the meal was $48. the sales tax on the meal is 7%, and the family also leaves a 15% tip on the pre-tax amount. what is the total cost of the meal?

The total cost of the meal is $58.56.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for problem solving with percentages.  In order to multiply by a percentage, we must first convert the percentage to a decimal by diving the percent by 100.  Since the Hu family is going to leave a 15% tip on the pre-tax amount of $48, we will need to multiply 48 x .15 = $7.20.  The Hu family must also pay a 7% sales tax on the cost of the meal.  In order to find the cost of the meal, including tax, we take the price of 48 x 1.07 = $51.36, which would be the original cost plus an additional 7% tax.  Lastly, we would need to include the tip to the post-tax total:  $51.36 + $7.20 = $58.56.
