A restaurant bill is made up of the following: $12.50 for starters, $28.55 for main courses, and $8.95 for deserts, plus a 15% service charge. How much is the bill?

The bill is $57.5

Explanation:

The computation of bill is shown below:

= Price for starters + price for main course + price for deserts + service charge tax

= $12.50 + $28.55 + $8.95 + $7.5

= $57.50

The service charge would be calculated by considering all food costing.

In mathematically

= Service tax rate * (Price for starters + price for main course + price for deserts)

= 15% * ($12.50 + $28.55 + $8.95)

= 15% * $50

=$7.5

Hence, the bill is $57.5
