Question

The Featherly’s went out to dinner and their bill was $62.71. They wanted to leave a 15% tip. How much was the cost of the dinner out?

Answer 1

$72.11

Explanation:

First, you need to find how much they tipped their waiter. So to do that, you need to do the percentage × bill. So 15/100 × 62.71.

You get around 9.40. Then, you add the tip to the bill (9.40+62.71).

You have the total cost!
