To figure out the tip, you need to find 20% of $75.60.
0.2 × 75.6 = 15.12
You should leave $15.12 for the waiter if you want to leave him exactly 20%.
To figure the tax, you need to find 8% of $75.60.
0.08 × 75.6 = 6.048
Next, add them up:
75.6 + 15.12 + 6.048 = 96.768
The total bill, including tax and tip, will be $96.77.
