Bob and Marie like to go to a good steakhouse. Dinners are $14 to $16 dollars with soup or salad. A beverage is $1.25. Dessert is $4.25. If one dinner is $14, the other is $16 and each diner has a beverage and dessert, what will the cost be if a 7% tax is charged and a 15% tip on the pre-tax amount is left?
Answer:
Answer is $50.02.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dinners of Bob and Marie are = $14 + $16 = $30
Beverage costs = 1.25 × 2 = $2.50
Dessert costs = 4.25 × 2 = $8.50
Total = 30 + 2.50 + 8.50 = $41.00 (without tax)
Now we calculate 7% tax and 15% tip
Tax = 41 × 0.07 = $2.87
Tip = 41 × 0.15 = $6.15
Now add tax and tip in total amount
= 41 + 2.87 + 6.15 = 50.02
Dinner will cost $50.02.
