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
