Praxis 5511 Practice Question
Matt ordered a ravioli, salad, and pie costing $5.45, $1.89, and $2.59, respectively, with a 20% tip and no tax. Which is closest to the total amount paid?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the total amount paid, first calculate the subtotal of the meal: $5.45 (ravioli) + $1.89 (salad) + $2.59 (pie) equals $10.93. Next, calculate the 20% tip: 20% of $10.93 is approximately $2.19. Adding the tip to the subtotal gives $10.93 + $2.19 = $13.12.
Option A ($10) is too low and does not account for the tip. Option B ($11) is also insufficient, missing the total after the tip. Option D ($13) is close but slightly underestimates the final amount. Therefore, the closest total amount paid is $12, making option C the most accurate choice.
