Answer 1

Debit is the amount of the money paid or owed, it can either raise the asset amount or can reduce the equity balances. It can also be referred to as the amount spent as an expense from the account.

$ 16.95 is the total debit amount.

How to calculate Priscilla's debit?

Given,

• Price of the order = $12.74
• Delivery charge = $2. 30

Step 1: The 15% of the total price of the order excluding delivery will be:

$\begin{aligned}15\% &= \dfrac{\rm X}{\ 12.74} \times 100\\ \\ \rm X &= \dfrac{\ 12.74 \times 15}{100}\\ \\ & = \ 1.91\end{aligned}$

Step 2: Add the total price of the order, delivery charge and tip.

$\ 12.74 + \ 2.30 + \ 1.91 = \ 16.95$

Therefore, option c. $ 16.95 is the expected debit from her account.
