Question

For Emily's birthday, her father treated her and five friends to a dinner at a restaurant at the mall. Emily and her friends ordered three pizza dinners at $6.25 each and three chicken baskets at $7.50 each. All six people ordered soft drinks costing $1.25 each. The sales tax on the meal was 4.5%, and the tip was 15%. What was the total cost of the meal, including the sales tax and the tip?

Answer 1

58.25

Answer 2

$58.26.

Explanation:

Total cost without sales tax and tip = 3 * 6.25 + 3 * 7.50 + 6 *1.25

= $48.75

Plus Sales tax and tip:

= 48.75 + 0.045*48.74 + 0.15*48.75

= $58.26.
