Question

Adalia ate lunch and wanted to leave her ​ waitress a 15% tip. Her meal cost $8.95. ​ How much money will the entire meal, ​ including the tip, cost? ​

Answer 1

Total cost = $10.2925

Approximately $10.30

Explanation:

Cost of meal = $8.95

Tip = 15% of $8.95

= 0.15 × 8.95

= $1.3425

How much money will the entire meal, ​ including the tip, cost?

Total cost of the meal = Cost of meal + amount of tip

= $8.95 + $1.3425

= 10.2925

Total cost = $10.2925

Approximately $10.30
