The question is asking us how much Chyanee is going to pay for both meals including a 10% tip. First I need to add $ and $ to get $. Next I need to change 10% to a decimal by moving the decimal to the left 2 spots. Then I need to multiply .10 with 56 to get $. I will then add that to $56 to get the total after taxes.
