Answer 2

1st blank = $4

2nd blank = $24

Explanation:

Henri's bill at a restaurant is $19.62. He wants to leave a tip of 20%

Estimated round off of $19.62 is $20.

Estimations are made for easy calculations in mind, this is why we round to nearest 0.

So, 20% of $20 is :

`0.20*20=4` dollars

And the total bill, including the tip is estimated to be :

=
`20+4=24` dollars
