Answer:
Option B
The total amount is $63.31 if there is an 8% tax and the customer leaves a 20% gratuity.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
List of items Prices
1 Appetizer $8.59
2 Entrees $15.99 each
1 dessert $4.69
2 drinks $2.10 each
Total amount for the food order came to, [tex]\left ( 1\times \$ 8.59 \right +2\times \$15.99+1\times \$4.69+2\times\$2.10)[/tex][tex]=\left (\$ 8.59 \right + \$31.98+ \$4.69+\$4.20)[/tex]=$49.46
Since the restaurant charges 8% as a tax on the total bill.
First, figure out the tax, 8% of $49.46[tex]=0.08\times $49.46[/tex]=$3.9568
Now, figure out the Customer leaves a gratuity, 20% of $49.46[tex]=0.20\times \$49.46[/tex]=[tex]\$9.896[/tex]
The total amount( including 8% tax and 20% gratuity )=$49.46+$9.896+$3.9568=$63.3128[tex]\approx \$63.31[/tex]
