$78

♡ Step-by-step explanation ♡

In the problem, it states that the family's meal is $65. At the same time, it is also mentioned that the tip is 20% of the price of their meal. This means that the tip is 20% of $65. In order to figure out the total price with the meal and the tip, we must multiply 20% by $65 in order to get the tip, and add $65 for the price of the meal. The sum will be your answer.

As stated earlier, the first step to this question is to multiply $65 by 20%. 20% in decimal form is 0.2 0.2*$65 equals $13. So, the family left a $13 tip.

The other step in finding the overall amount of money the family used is to add $65 to our previous answer. In this case, our previous answer is $13. We must add $65 to $13 in order to find the total price. $65+$13 is $78.

So, the total (with the meal and the tip) is $78.

A/N (Author's Note): This answer was plenty of fun to write, though it was slightly rushed! I hope this helps any and all people that use it! Have a stellar day!
