The smith family went out to to dinner. the price of the meal was $29.85. the sales tax was 6% of the price of the meal. the tip was 15% of the meal and the sales tax. how much money did the smith family pay for the meal, including tax and tip

First I will find the tip and then I will add that to the total and THEN I will add my sales tax to find 6% you have to multiply by 0.06.  to find 15% you have to multiply by 0.15

0.06 * 29.85 = 1.79
29.85 + 1.79 = 31.64
0.15 * 31.64 = 4.74
31.64 + 4.74 = $36.38
