Answer 1

Answer: $77.4

Explanation:

To figure out what they paid in total for their food, you're going to be using multiplication to figure out what the sales tax and the tip will be.

First, let's figure out the sales tax.

60 • .09 = 5.4

Next, figure out the tip.

60 • .20 = 12

Then, you're going to add them all to find the cost of the total.

60 + 5.4 + 12 = 77.4

Alondra paid $77.4 in total for their food.
