The Rodriguez family went to dinner at Pasta Palace. Mr. Rodriguez ordered a meal for $16.25; Mrs. Rodriguez ordered a meal for $19.50; the three children
ordered individual pizzas for $6.99 each. The tax rate is 8.75% and the family
wants to leave an 18% tip applied after the tax. How do they leave in all
including tax and tip Helppp please this is due under 10 min

Total Cost = $72.79

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax rate: 8.75%      Tip: 18%

First, add up the cost of Mr. Rodriguez, Mrs. Rodriguez, and their 3 kids' meals.

16.25 + 19.50 + 3(6.99)    

16.25 + 19.50 + 20.97

$56.72

Next, find the cost of the tax. 8.75%

8.75% of 56.72 = 0.0875 × 56.72 = $4.963

The tip is applied after the tax so we have to add the tax first and then find 18% of the sum.

56.72 + 4.963 = 61.683

18% of 61.683 = 0.18 × 61.683 = $11.10294

Then, add to find the total cost.

56.72 + 4.963 + 11.10294  = $72.78594

I'm assuming you have to round so it's approximately $72.79

I hope its right :) good luck!

what is the answer?
