Question

Ten friends went to a local restaurant and all had the buffet at $6.75 each. Seven friends added ice cream for dessert for $1.99 each. Since it is a large group, a tip of $15.00 for the waitress was added. The following is the restaurant bill. Does it seem reasonable? 10($6.75) + 7($1.99) + $15.00 = $196.43

Answer 1

This does not seem reasonable.

The correct total is $96.43

Answer 2

The equation is right, but it does not equal $196.43, it equals $96.43.
