1 answer

To find the total amount of the bill, we need to add the cost of the dinner to the service charge.

The cost of the dinner is $145.38.

To find the service charge, we need to multiply the cost of the dinner by 15%:

$145.38 x 0.15 = $21.81

So the service charge is $21.81.

To find the total amount of the bill, we add the cost of the dinner and the service charge:

$145.38 + $21.81 = $167.19

Therefore, the total amount of the bill is $167.19.

The answer is B - $167.19.
