Given :
At a restaurant, Brianna and Naomi each order an appetizer for $6.50 and an entree for $9.75.
The sales tax is $0.98 and they leave a tip of $5.85.
To Find :
How much did Brianna and Naomi spend in all.
Solution :
Total expenses, T = Food + tax + tip
T = $( 6.50+9.75) + $0.98 + $5.85
T = $( 16.25 + 0.98 + 5.85 )
T = $23.08
Therefore, total expenses is $23.08 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
