Answer:
Ms Griffin will receive the change of $33.93.
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of meal = $12.89
Price of Drink = $1.99
Total Money gave = $50
tax= 8%
We need to find how much change will she receive after paying the bill.
Total Money on dinner is equal to sum of Price of meal plus Price of drink
Hence equation can be framed as;
Total Money on dinner = [tex]\$12.89+\$1.99=\$14.88[/tex]
Now Amount of tax paid will be percentage of tax multiplied by total money on dinner.
Amount of tax paid = [tex]\frac{8}{100}\times 14.88 \approx\$1.19[/tex]
Total billed amount = Total Money on dinner + Amount of tax paid = [tex]\$14.88+\$1.19 =\$16.07[/tex]
Now amount of money she will receive back will be equal to Amount of money she paid minus Total billed amount.
Money she will receive back = [tex]\$50-\$16.07=\$33.93[/tex]
Hence, Ms Griffin will receive the change of $33.93.
