In the given problem there are several known and important facts to take note of. Firstly the restaurant bill without tax and tips is $28.35. Then the tax of 6.25% needs to be added with the bill. Also a tip of 20% on the original bill needs to be added to find the total cost.
Then tax on the restaurant bill = (6.25/100) * 28.35
= 1.77
So the tax on the restaurant bill is $1.77
Amount of tips given = 28.35 * (20/100)
= 5.67
Amount of tips paid is $5.67
Total cost paid in the restaurant = ( 28.35 + 1.77 + 5.67) dollars
= 35.79 dollars
