The williams family went out for dinner last night. The billcame to $59.95. What amount shou'd they leave if tax is 7% and they want to leave a 20% tip? A. $16.19 B. $43.76 C. $76.14 D. $86.95

Respuesta :

$59.95 ---> 100%

x ---> 7%

[tex]\begin{gathered} 59.95\times7=x\times100 \\ 419.65=100x \\ \frac{419.65}{100}=\frac{100x}{100} \\ x=4.20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

$4.20 of tax

then:

$59.95 ---> 100%

y ---> 20%

[tex]\begin{gathered} 59.95\times20=y\times100 \\ 1199=100y \\ \frac{1199}{100}=\frac{100y}{100} \\ y=11.99 \end{gathered}[/tex]

$11.99 of tip

therefore they leave

[tex]59.95+4.20+11.99=76.14[/tex]

answer: C $76.14
