Answer 1

Answer: He spend $36 in all and $9 for tax and tip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of bill for dinner = $45

Rate of tax = 5%

Rate of tip = 15%

Amount of tax would be

$0.05\times 45\\\\=\ 2.25$

Amount of tip would be

$0.15\times 45\\\\=\ 6.75$

total amount he spend for tax and tip combined is given by

$2.25+6.75\\\\=\ 9.00$

Amount he spend in all is given by

$\ 45-\ 9\\\\=\ 36$

Hence, he spend $36 in all and $9 for tax and tip.
