Question

A dinner cost $28.50 which included a 15% tip. How much was the tip?
Explain the answer please

Answer 1

I think it’s $1.60. Just the dinner was 26.60

Answer 2

Tip: $4.275 = $4.28

Explanation:

Use the formula: Tip = Tip% x Bill Total

In this case, the tip is 15% and the total bill is $28.50.

15% = 0.15

28.50 x 0.15 = 4.275

Round 4.275 to the hundredths, which equals 4.27

Answer: $4.28
