Question

Please help!!!!

Sarah wants to leave a tip of 15%. Her bill before the tip is $23.00. How much should she leave for the tip ? show your work.

Answer 1

$26.45.

Explanation:

First, convert the 15% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 15%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "15%" becomes 15% / 100% = 0.15 in terms of a real mathematical number.

Second, you need to find out what 15% of your $23.00 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.15 by $23.00, or

0.15 x $23.00=$3.45.

So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $3.45.

This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)

$23.00 + $3.45 = $26.45.

Answer 2

the answer is: Sarah must leave a $ 19.55 tip;)
