Question

Rosita paid $32.08, including tax, for her family to eat dinner at a restaurant. She wants to tip a whole dollar amount that is close to 20%. What is a reasonable tip that Rosita should leave?

Answer 1

$6

Explanation

$32 is the total(100%)

in order to find what she needs to tip, you have to divide by 5 because 100% / 5=20%

now, to find 20% of 32, you divide 32 by 5.

32 you can just round to 30, so that you can divide it by 5.

30/5=$6

you could've rounded the total up to 35, but 30 was closer, therefore $6 was the closest whole number tip rosita could've left.

hope this helps
