Question

Priscilla decides to order a delivery from the local sandwich shop. Their order comes to $12.74 and there is a $2.30 delivery charge. When the food is delivered, Priscilla adds on to their receipt a charge of 15% of their total, not including the delivery charge, as a tip for the driver. When Priscilla goes to check their debits on their online bank statement, what amount should they expect as the total debit?

$14.65
$15.04
$16.95
$17.30

Answer 1

Tip = 15% of $12.74 = 0.15 × 12.74 = $1.911 ≈ $1.91.
Total debit = 12.74 + 2.30 + 1.91 = $16.95.

Answer: $16.95
