Tysm for the tip Ms.Sue
To calculate the total amount to be paid, we need to add the bill, tax, and tip together.
First, let's calculate the tip. The tip is 20% of the bill before tax is added. So, we need to find 20% of $65.00.
To do this, we multiply $65.00 by 20% (or 0.20):
$65.00 x 0.20 = $13.00
The tip amount is $13.00.
Next, let's calculate the tax. The tax is 7% of the total bill amount, including the tip. So, we need to add the tip amount to the bill and find 7% of the total.
To find the total bill amount, we add the bill and the tip together:
$65.00 + $13.00 = $78.00
The total bill amount is $78.00.
To find the tax amount, we multiply $78.00 by 7% (or 0.07):
$78.00 x 0.07 = $5.46
The tax amount is $5.46.
Finally, we can calculate the total amount to be paid by adding the bill, tip, and tax together:
$78.00 + $13.00 + $5.46 = $96.46
Therefore, the correct answer is $96.46.
The options you provided are different from the calculated final amount. So, none of the options are correct.
