Question

Geneva treated her parents to dinner at their favorite restaurant. The bill was $77.25. She wants to leave 16% of the total bill as a tip. How much should the tip be, in dollars?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that;

Amount paid for dinner = $74.25

Percentage of tip = 16% = 0.16

Find: Amount of tip

Computation: Amount of tip = (Amount paid for dinner)(Percentage of tip)

Amount of tip = (74.25)(0.16)

Amount of tip = $11.88
