Answer 1

Given:

Cost of each pizza including tax = $8.55

Number of pizzas = 4

Tip = 15%

To find:

Her total bill.

Solution:

We have,

Cost of 1 pizza including tax = $8.55

Cost of 4 pizza including tax = $4\times \ 8.55$

                                                = $\ 34.2$

It is given that she wanted to give a 15% tip. So, tip is 15% of $34.2.

$\dfrac{15}{100}\times \ 34.2=\ 5.13$

Thus, the amount of tip is $5.13.

Now the total amount of bill is:

$\text{Total amount of bill}=\text{Cost including tax}+\text{Tip}$

$\text{Total amount of bill}=\ 34.2+\ 5.13$

$\text{Total amount of bill}=\ 39.33$

Therefore, the total amount of bill is $39.33.
