Allam just finished a great meal at a restaurant in Wisconsin. The sales tax in Wisconsin is 5%, and it is customary to leave a tip of 15% for the server. The tip amount is calculated on the price of the meal before the tax is applied. (Sales tax is not calculated on tips.)

If Allam ordered a $15 meal, how much money will he have to pay with tax and tip?

Allam's meal costs $15. After calculating a 15% tip of $2.25 and a 5% sales tax of $0.75, the total amount he pays is $18.00.
