Answer 1

The answer is $65.10 to get that add up all the items,multiply that number by .27 for the tax,add the total+the tax and you get 65.10

Answer 2

Answer : b. $65.10

1 appetizer: $7.39=7.39

2 entrees: $16.99 each= 2 * 16.99=33.98

1 dessert: $5.29= 5.29

2 drinks: $2.30 each=4.6

cost = 7.39 + 33.98 + 5.29 + 4.6 =$51.26

7% tax = 51.26 * 0.07 = 3.5882

20% gratuity = 51.26 * 0.2= 10.252

Total cost = 51.26 + 3.5882 + 10.252 =65.1002

the total amount = $65.1
