Question

The smiths went to Larosa's for dinner and spent $42.50 on dinner. There is a 6.5% tax and they want to give a tip of 20% before the tax is added. What is the total price of their bill?

Answer 1

Explanation:

cost of dinner = $42.5

Tax = 6.5%

Tip = 20%

Total amount percent on food = 26.5%

Amount paid on the original price = 26.5% of $42.5

Amount paid on the original price = 0.265*42.5 = $26.5625

Total price of the bill = $42.5 + $26.5625

Total price of bill = $69.0625
