Answer:

The total price to pay is $95.718.

Explanation:

Solve for the total cost of the entrees first

$35(3) = $105

Taking off 14%, that means that the customer is only to pay

100% - 14% = 86% of the total price or 0.86 in decimal

Discounted price = $105(0.86)

Discounted price = $90.30

Lastly, add the 6% sales tax or 0.06 in decimal

Total price = $90.30(1.06)

Total price = $95.718
