Question

The Duncan family went out for dinner. They ordered 2 meals at $7.25 each and 1

meal at $5.50. They also had 3 drinks at $1.80 each and one dessert at $4.85.
a) Write an expression to evaluate the total amount spent.
b) Evaluate the expression to find the total amount spent before tip.

Answer 1

look below

Explanation:

(7.25 * 2) + 5.50 + (3 * 1.80) + 4.85

Lets combine

(7.25 * 2) + (3 * 1.8) + 10.35

7.25 * 2 is 14.50

3 * 1.8 is 5.4

14.50 + 5.4 + 10.35

is $30.25 before tip

(Tip should be 6.05 minimum, 20% of 30.25 is 6.05)
