Final answer:

The best way to communicate the total to a guest in a hospitable manner is option B, mentioning the total amount and kindly offering a chance to donate to charity. Additionally, an example of calculating a total with tax and tip is provided with a restaurant bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

When communicating the total to the Guest, the best way to do so, keeping hospitality in mind, is option B: Your total is $7.29, please! Would you like to donate a dollar to Freddy's Kids? This response is polite and introduces an opportunity for the guest to contribute to a charitable cause, reflecting positively on the establishment’s customer service and community involvement.

In a separate example, Jerod and his friends went to a local Chinese restaurant where the food total was $47.50. After calculating 6% sales tax, which is $2.85, and adding a tip, the amount they will pay at the register with a credit card is $58.90, including the tax and tip. This illustration shows how to find total bills involving tips and taxes, useful for businesses transactions.
