what is the best estimate of a 20% tip if you ordered a meal that cost $29.35?

Answer 1

$5.87

Explanation:

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

hence 20% tip,

= 20% of the total cost

= 1/5 x $29.35

= $5.87

Answer 2

5.87

Explanation:

29.35/x=100/20

(29.35/x)*x=(100/20)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

29.35=5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5) to get x

29.35/5=x

5.87=x

x=5.87
