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?

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

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.
