Question

Jan took her brother out to dinner. The cost of Jan’s dinner was $18.50. The cost of her brother’s dinner was $19.00. If they want to add a 15% tip for the waitress, what will be the total bill?

Answer 1

The total bill that would be paid by Jan is equal to $43.125.

Given the following data:

• Cost of Jan’s dinner = $18.50.

• Cost of brother’s dinner = $19.00.

• Tip = 15%

To determine the total bill that would be paid by Jan:

First of all, we would calculate the total cost of their dinner as follows:

$Total\;cost = 18.50 + 19.00$

Total cost = $37.50

Next, we would calculate the tip cost for the total cost of their dinner:

$Tip\;cost = \frac{15}{100} \times 37.5\\\\Tip\;cost =0.15\times 37.5$

Tip cost = $5.625

For the total bill:

$Total\;bill = Total\;cost + Tip\;cost\\\\Total\;bill = 37.5 + 5.625$

Total bill = $43.125.
