Find the cost of a car if it costs $25000 plus 18% VAT.

The car costs $29,500 after the value tax.  

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the percentage into decimal form.  Since we are adding on the tax, add an additional 1 into the decimal.  

This is what we will use to multiply with: 1.18.

We know the cost of the car, $25,000 and it's VAT, 18%.

To determine how much it will cost after the added value tax, we multiply $25,000 with 1.18 because it is an additional cost to that car specifically.  

25,000 x 1.18 = 29,500

The car costs $29,500 after the value tax.  

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
