    The total cost of the dinner meals taken by Arif and Keisha = $13.75

    Percentage of tax that need to be given = 5%

    Then

    Amount of tax that needs to be given = (5/100) * 13.75 dollars

    = 13.75/20 dollars

    = 0.687 dollars

    = 0.69 dollars

    So

    The total amount that needs to be

    paid for dinner including tax = (13.75 + 0.69) dollars

    = 14.44 dollars

    Percentage of tips that they both want to leave = 15%

    Then

    Amount of tips that need to be given = (15/100) * 14.44

    = 216.6/100 dollars

    = 2.17 dollars

    So

    The total amount that they should leave = (14.44 + 2.17) dollars

    = 16.61 dollars

    So they should leave a total of $16.61 in the restaurant.
