Len and Kris had dinner in a restaurant. The dinner bill was $18.50.
They had to pay a 5% food tax and they left a 15% tip for the waiter.
What was the total amount they paid for dinner that night?
a. $22.20
b. $3.70
c. $22
d. $22.70
First, let's calculate the food tax:
$18.50 x 0.05 = $0.925
We round this up to $0.93. This is how much they paid for food tax.
Next, let's calculate the tip:
$18.50 x 0.15 = $2.775
We round this up to $2.78. This is how much they left for the tip.
To find the total amount they paid for dinner, we add up the cost of the meal, the food tax, and the tip:
$18.50 + $0.93 + $2.78 = $22.21
We round this down to the nearest cent, which gives us $22.20. Therefore, the answer is a. $22.20.
I think its 22.20
You are correct, the answer is $22.20. Apologies for the error in my previous response.
To find the total amount they paid for dinner, we need to calculate the food tax and the tip first.
1. Food Tax:
The food tax is 5% of the dinner bill, which is $18.50. To calculate the food tax, multiply the dinner bill by 5/100 (or 0.05):
Food Tax = $18.50 * 5/100 = $0.925
2. Tip:
The tip is 15% of the dinner bill, which is $18.50. To calculate the tip, multiply the dinner bill by 15/100 (or 0.15):
Tip = $18.50 * 15/100 = $2.775
Now, let's find the total amount they paid by adding the dinner bill, food tax, and tip:
Total Amount = Dinner Bill + Food Tax + Tip
Total Amount = $18.50 + $0.925 + $2.775
Total Amount = $22.20
Therefore, the total amount they paid for dinner that night is $22.20.
Therefore, option a. $22.20 is the correct answer.
