Answer:
$82.80

Step-by-step explanation:
"Emily treats Darren by paying for both meals"
Therefore, Emily pays a total of
$32.75 + $39.88 = $72.63
WITHOUT tips.

To find what 14%
of what Emily is paying, we go $72.63 × 14 = $100
10.17
Therefore, the total amount that Emily pays is
72.63
+
10.17
=
$
