To find the tip, you will need to calculate 16% of the bill.

We have that the bill is $20. Then, we can proceed as follows:


n\%=(n)/(100)\Rightarrow16\%=(16)/(100)\Rightarrow\$20\cdot(16)/(100)=(\$20\cdot16)/(100)

Therefore, we have:


\text{Tip}=(\$320)/(100)\Rightarrow Tip=\$3.20

In summary, you will leave $3.20 for the tip.
