Answer: The required amount of money that a customer be charged is $25.55.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the markup on a restaurant meal is 250% and a meal costs $7.30 to produce.

We are to find the amount of money that a customer be charged before tax and tip.

The markup price on the meal is given by

$m_p\\\\=250\%\times7.30\\\\=\dfrac{250}{100}\times7.30\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}\times7.30\\\\=18.25.$

Therefore, the amount of money that a customer be charged before tax and tip is

$\$(7.30+18.25)=\$25.55.$

Thus, the required amount of money that a customer be charged is $25.55.
