the final amount you will pay is $68.04.
the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.
to find the tip:
we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.
54 / 100 = .54
.54 x 18 = 9.72
tip = 9.72$
to find the tax:
we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.
54 / 100 = .54
.54 x 8 = 4.32
tax= 4.32
now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.
54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04
total: $68.04
