Answer:

c. $89.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

The restaurant bill =  $73.25

If you are taxed 7 1/2% or 7.5%  

Decide to tip your server 15%  

We have to find a new tax

To get the new tax,  we will   to multiply the bill by the tax you are taxed

73.25*0.075=5.49 tax

To get the total, we will have to multiply the bill by the tip after we have add one(1 + 15/100= 1.15) and then add it by the new tax  

73.25*1.15+5.49=$ 89.73  

The answer is D $90.56

Step-by-step explanation:

(73.25)(7.5%)=5.5

73.25 + 5.5 = 78.75(total w/ tax before tip)

(78.75)(15%)=11.81

78.75 + 11.81 = 90.56(total w/ tax & tip)
