Question

Estimate a 10% tip on a bill of $179.54 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars.

Here i use the percent equation, which is ____ is ____% of _____. our percent is 10%, and our whole goes at the end, 180$. The part( or the tax), becomes x, and now we translate. Is means = and of means times. so x=.10(180), and x will equal 18

so the tip will be around 18 dollars
