Bob and Jill go eat dinner at a fancy restaurant. Bob gets lobster and Jill gets crab legs. The lobster cost $\$60.00$ , and the crab legs cost $\$ 50.00$ . If they leave tip, how much is the combined bill?

$\$126.50$

CORRECT

$\$110.50$

$\$126$

$\$110$

Explanation

To do this, we need to sum up each meal, and then convert the tip into a decimal.

$\text{Bill}=$60+$50+0.15($60+$50)$

$\text{Bill}=$110+0.15($110)$

$\text{Bill}=$110+$16.50$

$\text{Bill}=\$126.50$
