WHO EVER ANSWERS GETS MARK AS BRAINLIEST

174 people preferred drinking water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A total of 450 males and females were surveyed.

203 were males.

Number of females = 450 - 203 = 247 females

247 females were surveyed.

Now, we will find the number of females who prefer water.

Let,

x be that number.

Total number of females = Soda + Iced tea + Lemonade + Water

247 = 28 + 44 + 67 + x

247 = 139 + x

247-139 = x

x = 108

Number of people who prefer water = 108 + 66 = 174

Hence,

174 people preferred drinking water.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
