Hailey goes to a restaurant and the subtotal on the bill was xx dollars. A tax of 8% is applied to the bill. Hailey decides to leave a tip of 24% on the entire bill (including the tax). Write an expression in terms of xx that represents the total amount that Hailey paid.

Business mathematics is the branch of mathematics utilized by businesses to track and coordinate their operations. Accounting, inventory management, marketing, sales forecasting, and financial analysis are all areas where commercial businesses apply mathematics.

According to Question:

let the the subtotal on the bill was xx dollars

A tax of 8% is added on bill then Bill becomes xx + 8% of xx

The of 8% on bill = (108/100)xx

Now the Final bill = xx + (108/100)xx

= (208/100)xx

Hailey decides to leave a tip of 24% on the entire bill (including the tax)

So the Total Amount = (208/100)xx + 24% of Final bills

⇒

24% of (208/100)xx = (208/100)(124/100)xx

The Total amount = (208/100)xx +(208/100)(124/100)xx

Let the Amount be A

hence, expression in terms of xx that represents the total amount that Hailey paid is A = (208/100)xx +(208/100)(124/100)xx

⇒ A = (52/25)xx +(52/25)(31/25)xx

⇒ 625A = 625((52/25)xx +(52/25)(31/25)xx)

⇒ 625A = 1300xx + 1612xx

⇒ 625A = 2912xx

⇒ A = (2912/625)xx
