Please help.. this is so difficult.. The Martinez family ate at a restaurant.

The cost of the meal was $34.50.
The sales tax was 6% of the cost of the meal.
They left a tip of 15% of the cost of the meal plus tax.
What was the total cost of the meal, tax, and tip?

$42.06

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: find the 6% of 34.50; by multiplying 34.50 x 0.06 ( 0.06 = 6/100 or 6%).

34.50 x 0.06 = 2.07

Step 2: 2.07 + 34.50 = 36.57 Total cost of meal + 6% tax.

Step 3: find 15% of 36.57

36.57 x 0.15 = 5.4855

Step 4: 36.57 + 5.49 (rounded because money only has two decimal places)

$42.06
