Three business associates are at their favorite local café for lunch. They have finished their meals and just received their bil

ls. Each bill is labeled at the top as Customer #1, Customer #2, or Customer #3. Note: Sales tax is 6%, and tips are rounded to the nearest $0.25. Customer #1: The bill, before sales tax has been added, is $12.95. This customer plans to leave a 15% tip, calculated after the tax has been added. Customer #2: The bill, after sales tax has been added, is $11.65. This customer plans to leave a 20% tip, calculated before the tax was added. Customer #3: The bill, before sales tax has been added, is $11.50. This customer plans to leave an 18% tip, calculated before the tax is added.
1. Which customer has the smallest total bill, including tax and tip?
2. Which of the following expressions best represents the following scenario?
The total bill, b, at a restaurant is first recalculated to include 6% sales tax and then recalculated to include a 16% tip.

a) 1.06b + 0.16(1.06b)
b) b + 0.16(1.06b)
c) 1.06b + 0.16b
d) 1.06(0.16b) + 0.16b

3. Customer #3's total bill is approximately
13%, 11%, 10% 12%

Customer #2 has the smallest total bill, including tax and tip.
Choice A, 1.06b + 0.16(1.06b), is correct.
Customer 3's bill is approximately 10% less than customer 1's bill.
Customer 2 leaves the bigger tip.

For customer #1:
(1.06(12.95))(1.15) = 15.79; the tip is 0.15(1.06(12.95)) = 2.06.
For customer #2:
1.06x = 11.65; x = 10.99; 20% tip = 0.2(10.99) = 2.20; total = 11.65+2.20 = 13.85.
For customer #3:
1.06(11.50) + 0.18(11.50) = 14.26; the tip is (0.18)(11.50) = 2.07.

Customer 3 spends 15.79-14.26 = 1.53 less than customer #1, which is 1.53/15.79 = 0.097 ≈ 10% less.

I need help on finding the LCD
Kipish [7]
The LCD of the denominator is 12. For this one it is possible to just 'see' that 6 is a divisor of 12. When in doubt, you can always get an answer by just multiplying the denominators. (ie., you can turn 11/12 into 66/72 and 1/6 into 12/72).

In this case, the easiest is to convert 1/6 into 2/12. (multiply both numbers by 2).

Then it becomes:

9\frac{11}{12} - 9 \frac 2{12} = 9 \frac{11-2}{12} - 9 = \frac9{12} = \frac34
