The conklin went out to eat at a sit-down restaurant. dad’s meal was $12.99. mom ordered a $8.99 meal. the two kids ordered kids meals for $6.99 each. if the sales tax rate was 6% and they left an 18% gratuity, what was the total cost of the meal?

$44.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the meal - $35.96

12.99 + 8.99 + 6.99 x 2

Tax - $2.16

35.96 x 0.06

Tip - $6.47

35.96 x 0.18

Total Cost of the meal - $44.59

35.96 + 2.16 + 6.47

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
