Answer:

The family spend 56.7 in total.

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of meal = 47.25

Tip = 20%

We need to find the amount spend in total by the family.

Solution:

Now given:

Tip = 20%

Amount spend on tip is equal to tip percent multiplied by total cost of the meal divided by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount spend on tip =
(20)/(100)* 47.25 =9.45

Now Amount spend in total by the family is equal to sum of Cost of meal and Amount spend on tip.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount spend in total by the family =
47.25+9.45 = 56.7

Hence the family spend 56.7 in total.
