Praxis 5511 Practice Test Practice Question
A menu in a restaurant states that a gratuity of 18% is added to the bill for groups of 8 or more. If the bill for 10 people is $415, which of the following is closest to the total bill, including the gratuity?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the total bill including gratuity, first calculate 18% of the $415 bill. This is done by multiplying $415 by 0.18, resulting in $74.70. Adding this gratuity to the original bill gives a total of $489.70, which rounds to $490.
Option A ($433) is incorrect as it underestimates the gratuity. Option B ($448) also underestimates the total by not accounting for the full gratuity amount. Option C ($476) is still too low as it fails to include the correct gratuity calculation. Thus, the closest total bill, including gratuity, is indeed $490.
