Question

7) You go out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings with your friends. Your bill comes

to a subtotal of $27.88 You want to leave an 18% tip. What will be the TOTAL
COST of your meal including the tip?

Answer 1

Answer: $32.90

Step-by-step explanation:

18% of 27.88 = 0.18*27.88 = 5.0184 which rounds to 5.02

The tip is $5.02 which means the total bill is 27.88+5.02 = 32.90

A slight shortcut is to say 1.18*27.88 = 32.8984 which rounds to 32.90

The 1.18 represents an 18% increase
