Respuesta :

Answer: The price of billing is $221.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount Zoe has paid in sales tax = $18.60

Rate of sales tax = 11%

So, Let the original price be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

[tex]\frac{11}{100}\times x=18.60\\\\x=\frac{18.60\times 100}{11}\\\\x=\$169\ approx.[/tex]

Rate of tip = 20%

Amount of tip is given by

[tex]\frac{20}{100}\times 169\\\\=\$33.8[/tex]

Amount after tip is given by

[tex]\$169+\$33.8\\\\=\$202.8[/tex]

Hence, The price of billing is given by

[tex]202.8+18.60\\\\=\$221.4[/tex]
