if a gratuity of 17% was added to the bill, which of the following is closest to the total of the steak platters and gratuity, ignoring sales tax?
$129
$156

$133

$133 is closet to total of the steak platters and gratuity.

D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brad had a small gathering at a local steakhouse. The steakhouse offers three dinner platters which vary by size and price.

They ordered 4 of the 6-ounce platters, 2 of the 8-ounce platters, and 3 of the 11-ounce platters.

First we make table of order, platter and price.

No. of order            Platters              Price/Plate              Total Price

      4                       6-ounce                $ 9.95                      $ 39.80

      2                       8-ounce                $12.95                      $ 25.90

      3                      11-ounce                 $15.95                      $ 47.85

Now, we will add the total price = 39.80 + 25.90 + 47.85 = $113.55

If a gratuity of 17% added to bill.

Total bill = $113.55

Gratuity value = 113.55 x 0.17 = $19.3035

Total bill of the steak platters = 113.55 + 19.3035 = $132.85 ≈ $133

Hence, $133 is closet to total of the steak platters and gratuity.
