the following list shows the items and prices for a restaurant order. calculate the total amount if there is 7.5% tax and the customer leaves a 15% gratuity. 1 appetizer: $8.99, 2 entrees: $14.99 each, 1 entree: $12.99, 3 drinks: $1.99 each. a $70.95, b $71.62, c $75.31, d $75.97

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate subtotal

$8.99+(2\times14.99)+12.99+(3\times1.99)=8.99 + 29.98+12.99 + 5.97=57.93$

Step2: Calculate tax amount

$57.93\times0.075 = 4.34475$

Step3: Calculate subtotal with tax

$57.93+4.34475=62.27475$

Step4: Calculate gratuity amount

$62.27475\times0.15 = 9.3412125$

Step5: Calculate total amount

$62.27475+9.3412125 = 71.6159625\approx71.62$

Answer:

B. $71.62$
