1. The correct answer is $54.
To solve this problem, we can use the formula for finding the total amount after adding sales tax:
Total amount = Cost of item + (Cost of item * Sales tax rate)
Sales tax rate is given as 7.25%, which can be written as 0.0725 in decimal form.
Total amount = $49.99 + ($49.99 * 0.0725)
Total amount = $49.99 + $3.62
Total amount = $53.61
Since we are rounding to the nearest dollar, the answer is $54.
2. The correct answer is $19.69.
To find the tip amount, we can multiply the cost of the dinner by the tip percentage:
Tip amount = Cost of dinner * Tip percentage
Tip percentage is given as 35%, which can be written as 0.35 in decimal form.
Tip amount = $56.25 * 0.35
Tip amount = $19.6875
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the answer is $19.69.
