Answer 1

Hello!

If Brad had a small gathering at a local steakhouse where they ordered 4 of the 6-ounce platters, 3 of the 8-ounce platters, and 2 of the 11-ounce platters. After adding an 18% gratuity their total before sales tax should have been $130.45

Explanation:

`4` x
`9.95=39.80`

`3` x
`12.95=38.85`

`2` x
`15.95=31.90`

`31.90+`
`38.85+`
`39.80=`
`110.55`

`110.55` x
`0.18`
`=19.899`

`110.55+19.90`
`=130.45`
