Answer 1

$17.60

Explanation:

We know that Emma spent $16.00 on her food.

There is a 10% tax.

Therefore, the total bill will be the price without tax plus the tax.

The price without tax is $16.00.

Tax is 10%. So, the tax will be 10% of 16.

10% of 16 is the same as 0.1(16) or 1.6.

So, the tax is $1.60.

Therefore, the total bill is:

$16.00+$1.60=$17.60.

Emma’s total bill comes to $17.60
