Total amount paid by Matt at restaurant was 55 dollars. It included a service tip of 10% on check amount. Total bill is given by sum of check amount and tip amount (if any). Total Bill = Check amount + Tip amount. 55 dollars = Check amount + 10% of check amount. 55 dollars = 110% of check amount. 55 dollars = 1.10 x check amount. Check amount = Hence, option D is correct, i.e. 50 dollars.
