Step-by-step explanation:

First

Get totals for food items:

Pizza $14.95 ×2=$29.90

Salad=$4.35

Drinks $2.49 ×4=$9.76

Total Bill

$29.90

$ 4.35

+$ 9.76

$44.21 Food Bill

Second Step

Find Tip Amount Before Tax

Total Bill $44.21 × .15=$6.63 Tip

Third Step

Find Tax on Total Food Bill

$44.21 × .07675=$3.39

Fourth Step

Find amount left from paying bill with tax.

Total Bill including tax:

$44.21 (bill) +$3.39 tax=$47.60

Cash $ 50.00

Total Bill - $47.60

$ 2.40 Change left over
