Answer: $79.12

Explanation:

We have to find total amount that was paid for dinner

5 people each order was worth $12.80

Therefore, total bill = 12.80*5

= $64

Tax: 7.5%

Therefore, the bill after tax was:


=64((100+7.5)/(100))\\= 64(1.075)\\

Bill with tax = $68.8

Gratuity = 15.0% of bill with tax

Therefore, gratuity = 0.15 * 68.8

= $10.32

Ended up paying in total = Gratuity + Bill with tax

= $68.8 + $10.32

= $79.12
