Nicole bought a meal in a town with a 9% sales tax. She tips 20% on the bill, and then adds the sales tax. What is the total cost of the meal if she orders a $15 menu item. Please submit a paragraph response, following the RACE method, to explain how to find the cost of Nicole’s meal.

The total cost of the meal is $19.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Nicole ordered a $ 15 menu, and on that price she paid a tip of 20% and the town in which she bought it had a sales tax of 9%, the total cost of the meal is determined by performing the following calculation:

1- Menu $ 15

2- Tip $ 3 (15 x 0.2)

3- Sales tax $ 1.35 (15 x 0.09)

Thus, adding the three expenses, the total cost of the food for Nicole is $ 19.35 (15 + 3 + 1.35).
