Answer 2

Answer:

$50.74.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the total cost of dinner, when gratuity is 18%.

The total cost of the dinner would be $43 plus 18% of $43.

$\text{The total cost of the dinner}=\ 43+\frac{18}{100}\times \ 43$

$\text{The total cost of the dinner}=\ 43+0.18\times \ 43$

$\text{The total cost of the dinner}=\ 43+\ 7.74$

$\text{The total cost of the dinner}=\ 50.74$

Therefore, the total cost of dinner is $50.74.
