Arif and keisha go to a restaurant fot dinner. their meals total $13.75 and the tax is 5%

Question: Arif and keisha want to leave a 15% tip based on the bill and tax combined. how much should they leave? Explain.

The total cost of the dinner meals taken by Arif and Keisha = $13.75

Percentage of tax that need to be given = 5%

Then

Amount of tax that needs to be given = (5/100) * 13.75 dollars

= 13.75/20 dollars

= 0.687 dollars

= 0.69 dollars

So

The total amount that needs to be

paid for dinner including tax = (13.75 + 0.69) dollars

= 14.44 dollars

Percentage of tips that they both want to leave = 15%

Then

Amount of tips that need to be given = (15/100) * 14.44

= 216.6/100 dollars

= 2.17 dollars

So

The total amount that they should leave = (14.44 + 2.17) dollars

= 16.61 dollars

So they should leave a total of $16.61 in the restaurant.
