Mia gives $80 as tip to the movers.

Step-by-step explanation

The moving company charged $500 for its service.

Suppose, the amount of tip is
x dollar, which is 16% of the total charge.

So, the equation will be.....


(x)/(500)*100\% = 16\%\\ \\ (x)/(5)=16\\ \\ x=5*16=80

So, the amount of tip Mia gives the movers is $80
