Question

Annie and Sarah ordered dinner that cost $12.00 for each meal. The tax on the bill for the dinners was 6%. What was the

total bill including tax?

25.44

24.72

12.72

13.44

Answer 1

25.44

Explanation:

Each meal cost $12.00 and there are two people sharing the bill (Annie and Sarah)

⇒ Therefore, we can add the two meals together to get 24 ( 12+12)

Now, we can multiply 24 by 0.06

⇒ which gives us 1.44

Add 24 and 1.44 together

⇒ and that is how we get 25.44

Answer 2

The first option is correct 25.44
First you add the two meals together. 12+12=24
Then you do 24 times 0.06 and you get:
1.44
So you add that to the 24 and your answer is 25.44
