Answer 1

Hello!

If Brad had a small gathering at a local steakhouse where they ordered 4 of the 6-ounce platters, 3 of the 8-ounce platters, and 2 of the 11-ounce platters. After adding an 18% gratuity their total before sales tax should have been $130.45

Step-by-step explanation:

$4$ x $9.95=39.80$

$3$ x $12.95=38.85$

$2$ x $15.95=31.90$

$31.90+$$38.85+$$39.80=$$110.55$

$110.55$ x $0.18$ $=19.899$

$110.55+19.90$$=130.45$
