Question

At a restaurant, Juan ordered an appetizer for $4.95, a main course for twice that price, a drink for $3.50 and a dessert for $6.65. If he left a 20% tip, how much did he tip his server?

Answer 1

$5.00

Explanation:

The main course is twice the cost of the appetizer, so $4.95 x 2 = $9.90

Find the total price of the meal ($4.95 + $9.90 + $3.50 + $6.65 = $25.00)

Find 20% of $25 ($25.00 x 0.20 = $5.00)
