Question

Don and Marie like to go to a good restaurant. Dinners are $16 to $19 dollars with soup or salad, entree and dessert. A beverage is $1.50. Dessert is $3.75. If one dinner is $16, the other is $19 and each diner has a beverage and dessert, what will the cost be if a 6% tax is charged and a 15% tip on the pre-tax amount is left?

Answer 1

pre-tax amount= 16+19+2(1.5+3.75)=45.5 

6% of 45.5= 2.73
15% of 45.5= 6.82500
45.5+ 2.73+6.82500 = 55.055 = 55.06

Hope this helps!
