Answer: 1.02$
Explanation:
First of all, let's calculate the total amount payed by Veena for her meal:
[tex]t=9.25\$+4.35\$=13.6\$[/tex]
The tax was 7.5%, which corresponds to a fraction of
[tex]7.5\% = \frac{7.5}{100}[/tex]
therefore, the amount of tax payed by Veena for her meal is
[tex]tax = \frac{7.5}{100} \cdot t= \frac{7.5}{100} (13.6\$)=1.02\$[/tex]
