Question

Three friends went to a fundraiser at a local restaurant. Each plate cost $7.95, which included a drink. A tip of 20% was left for the waitress. How much was the total cost of the meals including tip?

A.$23.85
B. $24.05
C. $28.62
D. $29.65

Answer 1

C. $28.62

Explanation:

3 · $7.95 = $23.85

`(y)/(23.85) :(20)/(100)`

y · 100 = 20 · 23.85

100y = 477

100y ÷ 100 = 477 ÷ 100

y = $4.77

$23.85 + $4.77

$28.62

Answer 2

I think it might be D but I’m not 100% sure
