Answer:

You should leave $176.50

Explanation:

In order to find this, multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage to get the tip amount.

$149.58 * 18% = $26.92

And now add the tip amount to the bill amount.

$26.92 + $149.58 = $176.50

Answer:

We will leave $176.50 which includes 18% the tip.

Explanation:

Cost of the meal ordered = $149.58

Percentage of tip to be given = 18% of Cost of the meal ordered

= 18% of $149.58

Amount of tip to be given =
=(18)/(100)* \$149.58=\$26.92

Total amount given by us:

= $149.58 + $26.92 = $176.50
