I think it goes something like this. Feel free to correct me:

Answer 9

The 15% and 7.5% tax rate will be part of the buffet and drink.

Total = 12.80 + (12.80)(0.15) + (12.80)(0.075)

Answer 10

Wait what? so he payed how much? 12.80?? @snowsurf

Answer 11

Total = 12.80 + (12.80)(0.15) + (12.80)(0.075)
Total = 15.68

Answer 12

Wrong.. DX @snowsurf

Answer 13

I think he paid $78.40 altogether.
His family of five each ate dinner at $12.80 each
12.80*5=64
He left a 15% gratuity which would be $9.60
He also had a tax rate of 7.5% which would make up $68.80
68.80+9.60= 78.40

Answer 14

$79.12

Answer 15

7.5 percent of 64 is 4.8
15 percent of 64 is 9.6
9.6+4.8+64= 78.4
