Answer: The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

We are given the cost of restaurant meal of M. Clark is $25.50.

and she has given 20% of the meal's cost as a tip to the waiter.

Step 1: Calculating the amount of tip paid

Total tip paid = $5.1

Step 2: To find the total amount, we add the cost of the meal and the tip paid

Total amount = Cost of the meal + Tip paid

Total amount = $25.50 + $5.10

Total amount paid by Ms. Clark = $30.6
