Don and Marie like to go to a good restaurant. Dinners are $16 to $19 dollars with soup or salad. A beverage is $1.50. Dessert is $3.75. If one dinner is $16, the other is $19 and each diner has a beverage and dessert, what will the cost be if a 6% tax is charged and a 15% tip on the pre-tax amount is left?

Hi there!


The correct answer is calculated like so:


16 + 19 + 3 + 3.75 + 3.75 = 45.5


45.5 0.06 = 2.73


45.5 0.15 = 6.83


45.5 + 2.73 + 6.83 = $55.06
