Question

Andrew and Kate have $30 to spend on dinner, tax, and gratuity at Mo’s Restaurant. Tax is 6%, and they will give a 15% tip on the total bill after taxes. Their dinner costs $21.00. Which statement correctly explains whether Andrew and Kate have enough money to pay their bill?

Answer 1

$21 times .06 = $1.26 in taxes and $21 times .15 = $3.15 in tip so you add $21+ 1.26 + 3.15 = $25.41

Answer 2

Answer:

If the cost of dinner is less then the money that the Andrew and Kate have then we can say Andrew and Kate have enough money to pay their bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the money which the Andrew and Kate have to spend on dinner is $30.

Tax is 6%

Now we have to find the total cost of dinner. If the cost of dinner is less then the money that the Andrew and Kate have then we can say Andrew and Kate have enough money to pay their bill.

Tax rate = 6%

Total tax= (Tax apply)(dinner cost)

             = $0.06\times21$

             = $1.26

Dinner cost after tax is $21+$1.26

                                    =$22.26

 Now it is given that they will give 15% tip on the total bill after taxes

∴ Amount of tip given = $15\% \times 22.26$

⇒                                  = $3.339

Total bill of dinner = dinner cost+Tax+Tip

                              =  $22.26+$3.339

                              = $25.599

Hence total bill of dinner is less than the money the have to spend.

⇒ Andrew and Kate have enough money to pay their bill.
