Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of meal = 47.25

Tip = 20%

Solution:

Now given:

Tip = 20%

Amount spend on tip is equal to tip percent multiplied by total cost of the meal divided by 100.

Amount spend on tip = $\frac{20}{100}\times 47.25 =9.45$

Now Amount spend in total by the family is equal to sum of Cost of meal and Amount spend on tip.

Amount spend in total by the family = $47.25+9.45 = 56.7$

Hence the family spend 56.7 in total.
