Answer: $39.0375

Explanation:

Amount for Dinner = $31.23
Tip Rate = 25%
Total Amount = ?

Therefore,
= (25/100 * 31.23) + 31.23
= (780.75/100) + 31.23
= 7.8075 + 31.23
=> 39.0375

Total Amount = $39.0375 or $39.04

The answer is 39.0375 but rounded to dollars and cents it would be $39.04 including a 25% tip.
