Answer: $571.20

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you're gonna use multiplication to figure out the tax and the tip. 

If the dinner is $476 and the tax is 5%, multiply the two to figure out how much the sales tax is. 

476 • 0.05 = 23.80


Then, multiply the $476 and 15% to figure out the tip. 


476 • .15 = 71.40


Add them all up. 


476 + 71.40 + 23.80 = 571.20


In this case, the Striton family paid $571.20 altogether.
