Answer :

Given:

The cost of Anna's meal before tax is $32.00

The tax is 5%

And she wants to leave an 18% tip on the pre-tax cost

So, first, we will calculate the tax and tip

[tex]\begin{gathered} tax=5\%*32=0.05*32=1.6 \\ tip=18\%*32=0.18*32=5.76 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the total bill will be the sum of the meal's cost and the tax and the tip

[tex]total=32+1.6+5.76=39.36[/tex]

So, the answer will be:

The total that she should leave = $39.36
