Answer 2

Option C.

Explanation:

Nina paid the bill for dinner costing = $65

Restaurant added the sales tax = $5.20

Total bill including taxes Nina paid = $65 + $5.20

= $70.20

Nina wants to pay a 15% tip on the total bill including sales tax.

Tip = 15% of $70.20

= 70.20×0.15

= $10.53

Therefore, Nina will pay $10.53 as a tip.

Option C will be the answer.
