1. Answer: $8.83

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Facts:

   Total before extra fees: $88.24

   Sales tax: 5%

   plus a 20% tip afterwards.

   Gave $120

   Change= ?

   ___________

   Step 1: Add the sales tax

   The first thing to do is find 5% of 88.24, since the sales tax was 5% of the cost of their dinner.

   5% of 88.24= 4.41200—> $4.40

   Now we add it to the subtotal.

   4.40+ 88.24= $92.64

   Step 2: Add the 20% tip.

   Since the question puts the “20% tip” statement  after the 5% tax, I’m going to assume that the 20% tip is 20% of the dinner cost after the tax was added.

   So the new cost is 92.64. All you need to do is find 20% of 92.64, and then add the result to 92.64. Look:

   20% of 92.64= 18.528–> $18.53

   18.53+92.64= $111.17

   Now, there we have the total cost of dinner.

   Step 3: Find how much change he got.

   So now we know the total cost is $111.17, and that he paid with $120. He obviously  paid more than the total cost, so to find the amount of change, simply subtract the 111.17 from 120:

   120-111.17= $8.83

   He recieved $8.83 in change because he paid $8.83 more than the expected balance (actual total cost).

   Hope this helps :)) Also brainliest would be appreciated, i worked pretty hard on this 🙂
