19) A family of four have a dinner bill for $44.00. A 15% tip is added after an 8% tax is added to the amount. How much is the tip?

1. $4.05
2. $6.60
3. $6.71
4. $7.13

According to the question, this consumer added the 15% tip on top of the bill and the tax. Therefore, you must first multiply $44.00 * 1.08 which equals $47.52. Now you will multiply $47.52 * 15% or .15. This results in $7.128 which rounds up to $7.13.
