Lesson 4: Consumer Responsibilities

Question 12 • [PERFIN] Personal Finance, Sem 2 (26-27)

Priscilla decides to order a delivery from the local sandwich shop. Her order comes to $12.74 and there is a $2.30 delivery charge. When the food is delivered, Priscilla adds on to her receipt a charge of 15% of her total, not including the delivery charge, as a tip for the driver. When Priscilla goes to check her debits on her online bank statement, what amount should she expect as her total debit?

Answer
A
$14.65
B
$15.04
C
$16.95
D
$17.30

Explanation

The 15% tip is based on the $12.74 food total, not the delivery charge: $12.74 × 0.15 = $1.911, or $1.91 rounded to the nearest cent. Add the food, delivery charge, and tip: $12.74 + $2.30 + $1.91 = $16.95. Priscilla should expect a total debit of $16.95.
