Answer 1

3.75+15+2.6+4.25=$25.60 *1.2 = $30.72

Answer 2

The total cost of her dinner including tip would be $30.72

Explanation:

Marge orders the following items on her meal.

Soup = $3.75

Shrimp scampi = $15.00

Iced tea = $2.60

Dessert = $4.25

The total cost of her dinner including gratuity is

3.75 + 15.00 + 2.60 + 4.25 = $25.60

She would like to leave a 20% tip based on her bill

Therefore, 20% of $25.60

= 0.20 × 25.60 = $5.12

Now add this tip amount to the bill amount.

$25.60 + $5.12 = $30.72

The total cost of her dinner including tip would be $30.72
