30.60

Step-by-step explanation: I took the test

Answer 2

(d) The value of x = $30.60

Explanation:

Let us assume the total value of the bill = x

The tip paid to the waitress = 90%

⇒ 90 % of the total Bill paid = $ 27.54

or, 90 % of x = $27. 54

`\implies (90)/(100) * x =  27.54\\ \implies x  =(27.54 * 100)/(90 )  = 30.60`

or, x = $36.60

Hence the value of the total bill paid by Raj = x = $30.60
