Answer 1

Answer:

$53.85

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y}{44.33} :\frac{15}{100}$

y · 100 = 44.33 · 15

100y = 664.95

100y ÷ 100 = 664.95 ÷ 100

y = 6.6495

$6.64 for a tip.

$\frac{y}{44.33} :\frac{6.5}{100}$

y · 100 = 44.33 · 6.5

100y = 288.145

100y ÷ 100 = 288.145 ÷ 100

y = 2.88145

$2.88 for tax.

$2.88 + $6.64 + $44.33

$53.85
