Answer: 1.02$
Explanation:
First of all, let's calculate the total amount payed by Veena for her meal:
\(t=9.25\$+4.35\$=13.6\$\)
The tax was 7.5%, which corresponds to a fraction of
\(7.5\% = \frac{7.5}{100}\)
therefore, the amount of tax payed by Veena for her meal is
\(tax = \frac{7.5}{100} \cdot t= \frac{7.5}{100} (13.6\$)=1.02\$\)
