● gratuity is $15, total is $88.4
○ gratuity is $87.4, total is $14
○ gratuity is $88.4, total is $15
○ gratuity is $14, total is $87.4
○ gratuity is $14, total is $88.4

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the gratuity (tip)

The amount is $73.4, and the gratuity rate is 20%. To find the gratuity, we calculate 20% of $73.4.
The formula for calculating the gratuity is: \( \text{Gratuity} = \text{Amount} \times \text{Rate} \)
So, \( \text{Gratuity} = 73.4 \times 0.2 = 14.68 \)
Since we need to round up to the nearest dollar, $14.68$ rounded up is $15$.

Step2: Calculate the total

The total is the sum of the amount and the gratuity.
The formula for calculating the total is: \( \text{Total} = \text{Amount} + \text{Gratuity} \)
We know the amount is $73.4$ and the gratuity (rounded up) is $15$.
So, \( \text{Total} = 73.4 + 15 = 88.4 \) (wait, no, wait, 73.4 + 15 is 88.4? Wait, no, 73.4 + 14.68 is 88.08, but we rounded the gratuity up to 15, so 73.4 + 15 = 88.4? Wait, no, 73.4 + 15 is 88.4? Wait, 73.4 + 15: 73 + 15 = 88, plus 0.4 is 88.4. But let's check the options. One of the options is "Gratuity is $15, Total is $88.4", which matches our calculation.

Wait, let's re - check the gratuity calculation. 20% of 73.4 is 14.68. Rounding up to the nearest dollar: when rounding up, any decimal part means we go to the next whole number. So 14.68 rounded up is 15. Then total is 73.4+15 = 88.4.

Answer:

Gratuity is $15, Total is $88.4 (the option with "Gratuity is $15, Total is $88.4")
