B. (0.2)(38)
C. (1.2)(38)
D. (20)(38)

Answer 1

B. (0.2)(38) is the correct answer

Answer 2

the expression is (0.2)(38)

Explanation:

Joelle would like to tip her hairdresser 20%.

Haricut bill was $38.00.

To find the tip amount, we multiply the tip percentage by the bill amount

tip percentage is 20%. To remove percentage we divide by 100

`(20)/(100) =0.2`

Tip amount =
`0.2 \ times \ 38`

So the expression is (0.2)(38)
