Question

Priscilla decides to order a delivery from the local sandwich shop. Her order comes to $12.74 and there is a $2.30 delivery charge. When the food is delivered, Priscilla adds on to her receipt a charge of 15% of her total, not including the delivery charge, as a tip for the driver. When Priscilla goes to check her debits on her online bank statement, what amount should she expect as her total debit?

Answer 1

If $2.30 is in the 12.74 then her amount is $14.61.
If it is not included, her amount is $17.30.

Answer 2

Answer:  $16.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of order of food =  $12.74

Delivery charge = $2.30

Then, the total cost of order =$\ 12.74+\ 2.30=\ 15.04$

Since, when  the food is delivered, Priscilla adds on to her receipt a charge of 15% of her total, not including the delivery charge, as a tip for the driver.

Then the total amount should she expect as her total debit = $\ 15.04+0.15\times\ 12.74=\ 16.951\approx\ 16.95$

Hence, the total amount should she expect as her total debit $\ 16.95$
