$60.95

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the total cost of the two meals w/o the tip.

20.25 + 32.75 = 53

Now find what 15% of 53 is by multiply 53 and 0.15 (move the decimal point twice to the left).

53 * 0.15 = 7.95

Add the tip to the total cost of the meals.

53 + 7.95 = 60.95

The total cost is $60.95.
