Answer: The required amount of money that a customer be charged is $25.55.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the markup on a restaurant meal is 250% and a meal costs $7.30 to produce.
We are to find the amount of money that a customer be charged before tax and tip.
The markup price on the meal is given by
\(m_p\\\\=250\%\times7.30\\\\=\dfrac{250}{100}\times7.30\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}\times7.30\\\\=18.25.\)
Therefore, the amount of money that a customer be charged before tax and tip is
\(\$(7.30+18.25)=\$25.55.\)
Thus, the required amount of money that a customer be charged is $25.55.
