At a restaurant, if a party has eight or more people, the gratuity is automatically added to the bill. If x is the cost of the meal, then the total bill C (x) with a 20\% gratuity and a 5\% sales tax is given by: $C(x) = x + 0.05x + 0.20x$. Evaluate C (176) and interpret the meaning in the context of this problem. Round to the nearest cent. If the cost of the food is $, then the total bill including tax and tip is $
