Rae ordered a tossed salad ($2.75), spaghetti and meatballs
($4.50), and a soft drink ($1.25). Esimtate the cost of her meal if
she leaves a 15% tip.
a. $7
b. $11
c. $10
d. $13
The total cost of Rae's meal is $2.75 + $4.50 + $1.25 = $8.50.
To calculate the 15% tip, we can find 15% of $8.50:
$8.50 x 0.15 = $1.28
Adding this to the total cost gives us:
$8.50 + $1.28 = $9.78
Rounding to the nearest dollar, the estimate of Rae's meal with tip is $10.
Therefore, the answer is c. $10.
