Answer:

The total amount they paid for dinner that night = $22.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Dinner bill = $18.50

They paid 5% food tax

Food tax = (5/100) x 18.50

Food tax = $0.925

They left a 15% tip for the waiter

Tip = (15/100) x 18.50

Tip = $2.775

Total amount paid = Dinner bill + Food tax + Tip

Total amount paid = $18.50 + $0.925 + $2.775

Total amount paid = $22.2

The total amount they paid for dinner that night = $22.2
