Answer: $19.02

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the sales tax paid. It will be paid on the cost of the meal:

= 14.20 * 8%

= $1.14

Then find the tip which was done after the sales tax was added:

= 24% * (14.20 + 1.14)

= 24% * 15.34

= $3.68

The total cost is:

= Gross amount + Sales tax + tip

= 14.20 + 1.14 + 3.68

= $19.02
