The sales tax rate in Pleasantville is 8.75%. Part A - Find the actual total of the bill including tax and tip.

there is no picture of a receipt to see.

but do the cost of food times 0.15 to find out the tip. then do the cost of the food times 1.0875 to find out how much the total would be. then add the tip to the total.

for part B just take the total of everything (previous answer) and divide it by three.
