Answer 1

Answer: to go about this we need to test each bill to see which one will 20% of will add up to $60

Step-by-step explanation: from the list of bills 20% $50 will add up to give $60

I. E 20/100*50=0.2*100=$10

$50+$10=$60

Answer 2

For this case, we propose a rule of three for each amount. Then we will add 20% and see if it is less than or equal to $60, if that is true then Clay can pay the tip of 20%:

$ 48.53 ------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the amount corresponding to 20%.

`x = \frac {20 * 48.53} {100}\\x = 11.6472`

So, we have:

`48.53 + 11.6472 =\\60.1772`

With this bill Clay could not leave a 20% tip.

$ 49.75 ------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the amount corresponding to 20%.

`x = \frac {20 * 49.75} {100}\\x = 9.95`

So, we have:

`49.75 + 9.95 =\\59.7 <60`

With this bill Clay could leave a 20% tip.

$ 54.99 ------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the amount corresponding to 20%.

`x = \frac {20 * 54.99} {100}\\x = 10,998`

So, we have:

`54.99 + 10.998 =\\65.988`

With this bill Clay could not leave a 20% tip.

$ 61.60 ------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the amount corresponding to 20%.

`x = \frac {20 * 61.60} {100}\\x = 12.32`

So, we have:

`61.60 + 12.32 =\\73.92`

With this bill Clay could not leave a 20% tip.

$ 58.80 ------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the amount corresponding to 20%.

`x = \frac {58.80 * 20} {100}\\x = 11.76`

So, we have:

`58.80 + 11.76 = 70.56`

With this bill Clay could not leave a 20% tip.

$ 50 ------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the amount corresponding to 20%.

`x = \frac {50 * 20} {100}\\x = 10`

So, we have:

`50 + 10 = 60`

With this bill Clay could leave a 20% tip.

So, I could only tip with the options B y F
