    At the restaurant you only have $30 to spend on dinner.

    => 8% sales tax is applied in your bill.

    => And need to leave a 20% tip.

    Now, let’s find out how much will be the most expensive item you can order

    Let us solve for the 8% tax first

    => 30 dollars * 8%

    => 30 dollars *.08 = 2.4 dollars

    Then let’s solve the 20% tip

    => 30 dollars *.20 = 6 dollars

    Solve

    => 2.4 + 6.00 = 8.4 dollars

    => 30 dollars - 8.4 dollars = 21.6 dollars

    Thus, you can only spend around 22 dollars to be able not to exceed at your 30 dollars budget.
