Correct answer: B. 12.5%
- A. 11.1%
- B. 12.5%
- C. 14.0%
- D. 15.0%
Explanation
To find the percentage of the cost of food and drink that was added as a service charge, we need to first calculate the total cost of food and drink.Total cost of food and drink = $7.00 + $20.75 + $9.75 + $4.50 = $42.00Now, we can calculate the percentage of the cost of food and drink that was added as a service charge:Service charge percentage = (Service charge / Total cost of food and drink) x 100%Plugging in the values, we get:Service charge percentage = ($5.25 / $42.00) x 100% = 12.5%Therefore, the answer is B) 12.5%.
