    Step-by-step explanation:

    First

    Get totals for food items:

    Pizza $14.95 * 2=$29.90

    Salad=$4.35

    Drinks $2.49 * 4=$9.76

    Total Bill

    $29.90

    $ 4.35

    +$ 9.76

    $44.21 Food Bill

    Second Step

    Find Tip Amount Before Tax

    Total Bill $44.21 *.15=$6.63 Tip

    Third Step

    Find Tax on Total Food Bill

    $44.21 *.07675=$3.39

    Fourth Step

    Find amount left from paying bill with tax.

    Total Bill including tax:

    $44.21 (bill) + $3.39 tax=$47.60

    Cash $ 50.00

    Total Bill - $47.60

    $ 2.40 Change left over

    Fifth Step

    Find amount needed to give $6.63 tip from above.

    We have $2.40 we need $6.63

    Subtract $6.33 - $2.40=$4.23 more money needed for tip
