Question

DRIAN TOOK HIS FAMILY TO DINNER. THE BILL CAME TO$ 150° HE HAS TO PAY 6% TAXAND 15% TIP. WHAT IS HIS FINAL BILL

Answer 1

To obtain Drian's final bill, the following steps are necessary:

Step 1: Find the separate amounts Drian paid as tax, and as tip, as shown below:

- Tax = 6% of $ 150, which is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Tax = }(6)/(100)*150=(900)/(100)=9 \\ \Rightarrow\text{ Tax = 9 dollars} \end{gathered}`

- Tip = 15% of $ 150, which is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Tip}=\text{ }(15)/(100)*150=(2250)/(100)=22.5 \\ \Rightarrow\text{ Tip = 22.5 dollars} \end{gathered}`

Step 2: Add the separate amounts of the tax and tip to the initial bill given to Drian in order to obtain his final bill, as follows:

`Fi\text{nal bill = initial bill + tax + tip}`

Since:

Initital bill = $ 150

Tax = $ 9

Tip = $ 22.5

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} Fi\text{nal bill = initial bill + tax + tip} \\ Fi\text{nal bill = 150 + 9 + }22.5\text{ = 181.5} \\ \Rightarrow Fi\text{nal bill = }181.5\text{ dollars} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Drian's final bill is $ 181.5
