Question

Emily's meal cost $32.75 and darren's meal cost $38.88. emily treats darren by paying for both meals,and leaves a 14% tip. find the total cost

Answer 1

$32.75+$38.88=$71.63. Add the 14% tip by multiplying that by 1.14 (114%):
$71.63*1.14=$81.66. An overpriced meal for two people, I think.

Answer 2

first add them
32.75+38.88=71.63

100%+14%=114%

find 114% of 17.63
percent means parts ouf o 100
114%=114/100=1.14

'of' means multiply


114% of 71.63 means
1.14 times 71.63=81.6582
round to neaest cent
81.66

answer is total cost=$81.66
