Cost of the meal is $37.86 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Teresa's restaurant bill comes to $29.99 before tax.

If the sales tax is 6.25% and she tips the waiter 20% .

6.25% is written in the decimal form.

= 0.0625

Sales tax price = 0.0625 × Restaurant bill

                        = 0.0625 × 29.99

                        = $ 1.87

20% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.20

Waiter tip = 0.20 × 29.99

                = $5.998

Total cost of the meal = Restaurant bill + Sales tax price + Waiter tip

Putting all the values in the formula

                                    = $ 29.99 + $1.87 + $5.998

                                    = $ 37.86 (Approx)

Therefore the cost of the meal is $37.86 .
