Question

Frank and Linda just finished a meal and received their bill for $47.60. They would like to leave their server a 20 percent tip. Which expression could be used to find the total bill including gratuity?

Answer 1

47.60 + 0.20(47.60) = 47.60 + 9.52 = 57.12

OR

47.60(1.20) = 57.12

Answer 2

Answer: Required expression would be 47.60(1.20).

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount for bill = $47.60

Percentage of tip = 20%

Amount of tip would be

`(20)/(100)* 47.60\\\\=0.2* 47.60\\\\=\$9.52`

So,Total bill including gratuity would be

`\$47.60+\$9.52\\\\=$57.12`

So, our required total bill including gratuity would be

`47.60(1+0.20)\\\\=47.60(1.20)`
