Respuesta :

Answer:

B.) 0.08

D.) 19.20

Explanation:

The cost of the meal before tax = $240

Percentage added as tax = 8%

Therefore, the total cost of the bill after the 8% tax is added to the bill is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 240+8\%\times240 \\ =240+\frac{8}{100}\times240 \\ =240+0.08\times240 \end{gathered}[/tex]

If we simplify further, we have:

[tex]=240+19.20[/tex]
