Answer 1

The total amount of money he has to pay for the dish is $8.3861.

Explanation:

Here, the marked price of the seafood fried rice = $9.50

Now, discount on the marked price = 25%

Calculating 25% of $9.50 =
`(25)/(100)  * 9.50 = 2.375`

So, the discount offered = $2.375

Now, the Selling Price of dish = Marked Price - Discount

= $9.50 - $2.375 = $7.125

Now, here the service charge applied here = 10%

Calculating 10% of $7.125 =
`(10)/(100)  * 7.125 = 0.7125`

So, the service charge applied = $0.7125

So, the new Selling Price of dish = Selling Price + Service Charge

= $7.125 + $0.7125 = $7.8375

Again, here the GST applied here = 7%

Calculating 7% of $7.8375 =
`(7)/(100)  * 7.8375 = 0.5486`

So, the GST applied = $0.5486

So, the new Selling Price of dish = Selling Price + GST

= $7.8375 + $0.5486 = $8.3861

Hence, the total amount of money he has to pay for the dish is $8.3861.
