Jeff, Lauren, and Sarah finished their meal, and their total for the three dinners before tax was $21.65. If the tax on their meal was 8.5%, how much was the total cost of their meal with tax? Round to the nearest hundreth.

The total cost of their meal with tax= $23.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of the three dinners before tax = $21.65

Tax = 8.5%

Tax amount = 8.5% of ( Cost of the three dinners before tax)

= (0.085) x 21.65        [0.085 = 8.5%]

= $1.84025 ≈ $ 1.84

The total cost of their meal with tax = Cost + Tax amount

= 21.65 + 1.84

= $23.49

Hence, the total cost of their meal with tax= $23.49

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
