    Answer: The total bill will be $52.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question, first we have to multiply the amount of the bill before tax (50) by the sale tax rate in decimal form (divided by 100)

    Mathematically speaking:

    50 x (3/100) = 50 x 0.03 = $1.5 (sales tax amount)

    Next, we have to multiply the amount of the bill before tax (50) by the tip percentage in decimal form:

    50 x (2/100) = 50 x 0.02 = $1 (tip amount)

    Finally, we have to add both amounts to the original bill:

    50+1.5+1 = $52.5
