Answer 2

Answer: He spend $36 in all and $9 for tax and tip.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of bill for dinner = $45

Rate of tax = 5%

Rate of tip = 15%

Amount of tax would be

`0.05* 45\\\\=\$2.25`

Amount of tip would be

`0.15* 45\\\\=\$6.75`

total amount he spend for tax and tip combined is given by

`2.25+6.75\\\\=\$9.00`

Amount he spend in all is given by

`\$45-\$9\\\\=\$36`

Hence, he spend $36 in all and $9 for tax and tip.
