Answer 1

$74.67

Explanation:

$8 was 12% of the cost of the pizzas, so we have to add that to the initial cost. The initial cost can be found by (8*100)/12, which would be $66.67. Since we need to find the total amount of money spent, we have to add the initial cost of pizzas and the $8 tip, which is 12% of that. Final answer is $74.67

Answer 2

$17

Explanation:

Tip = $8.00

Pizzas cost:

First you have to do 12% of $8.00 which = $0.96

Then you have to add the $0.96 to the $8.00 which = $8.96

Total = $8.00 + $8.96

= $16.96

then round it to nearest cent which is $17
