The rodriguez family went to dinner at at pasta palace. mr. rodriguez ordered a meal for $6.25; mrs. r ordered a meal for $7.50; the 2 children ordered individual pizzas for $4.99 each. the sales tax rate was 7.25% and they left a 15% tip. how much was the total bill.

Cost of the meal ordered by Mr. Rodriguez = $6.25
Cost of the meal ordered by Mrs. Rodriguez = $7.50
Cost of each pizza ordered by the two children = $4.99
Then
The cost of the 2 pizzas ordered by the 2 children = (2 * 4.99) dollars
                                                                                 = 9.98 dollars
So
The total cost of the orders = (6.25 + 7.50 + 9.98) dollars
                                             = 23.73 dollars
Percentage of tip on the bill = 15%
Then
Amount of tip paid = (15/100) * 23.73 dollars
                              = 355.95/100 dollars
                              = 3.56 dollars
Percentage of tax paid on the bill = 7.25%
Amount of sales tax that was paid = (7.25/100) * 23.73 dollars
                                                       = 172.04/100 dollars
                                                       = 1.72 dollars
So
The total bill that was paid = (23.73 + 3.56 + 1.72) dollars
                                           = 29.01 dollars
