Choose a restaurant where you will eat (make one up if you need to). Pick at least 3 things to buy off the menu, and total up the cost of these items. Add 7% sales tax to your total, then find a 15%-20% tip on top of that to find your total cost.

A complete answer will have:

1. Name of restaurant
2. Name of each item you buy
3. Cost of each item you buy
4. How much tax you pay, in dollars and cents (What is 7% of the total of your items?)
5. What percent you tip, and what dollar amount that comes to
6. The final/total cost for your bill
