- Quantity - The number of meals ordered

Worked Example
Let's say you want to order a Double-Double Animal Style meal at In-N-Out in California. Here's how the calculation works:
- Meal Price: $5.25 (Double-Double Animal Style)
- Quantity: 2
- Tax Rate: 7.25%
- Tip Percentage: 18%
Using the formula:
Calculation Steps
Subtotal = $5.25 × 2 = $10.50
Tax = $10.50 × 0.0725 = $0.76
Tip = $10.50 × 0.18 = $1.89
Total Cost = $10.50 + $0.76 + $1.89 = $13.15
So, the total cost for two Double-Double Animal Style meals with 18% tip would be $13.15.
