Answer 2

`\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{6.25\% of 205.60}}{\left( \cfrac{6.25}{100} \right)205.60}\implies 12.85~\hfill \underset{ \textit{final bill} }{\stackrel{ 205.60~~ + ~~12.85 }{\text{\LARGE 218.45}}}`
