Answer 2

Option B

The total amount is $63.31 if there is an 8% tax and the customer leaves a 20% gratuity.

Explanation:

Given:

List of items Prices

1 Appetizer $8.59

2 Entrees $15.99 each

1 dessert $4.69

2 drinks $2.10 each

Total amount for the food order came to,
`\left ( 1* \$ 8.59 \right +2* \$15.99+1* \$4.69+2*\$2.10)`
`=\left (\$ 8.59 \right + \$31.98+ \$4.69+\$4.20)`=$49.46

Since the restaurant charges 8% as a tax on the total bill.

First, figure out the tax, 8% of $49.46
`=0.08* $49.46`=$3.9568

Now, figure out the Customer leaves a gratuity, 20% of $49.46
`=0.20* \$49.46`=
`\$9.896`

The total amount( including 8% tax and 20% gratuity )=$49.46+$9.896+$3.9568=$63.3128
`\approx \$63.31`
