Answer 1

The answer to your question should be A

Or the expression 58(.20)+58=69.6

Answer 2

The expression represents the total amount that Alexi needs to pay is T= 1.02A , where T is total amount and A is restaurant bill.

Explanation:

Given : Alexi’s restaurant bill is $58, and he wants to leave a 20 percent tip.

We have to find the expression represents the total amount that Alexi needs to pay.

Since, Alexi's restaurant bill is $ 58.

Also, she want to leave 20 % tip

So 20 % of her restaurant bill is 20% of 58

`(20)/(100)* 58=11.6`

Thus, her total amount is 58 + 11.6 = $ 69.6

Alos, in expression it can be represented by

Total Amount to be paid = Amount + 0.02(Amount)

Mathematically, written as

T = A+ 0.20A

T= (1+0.02)A

T= 1.02A

The expression represents the total amount that Alexi needs to pay is T= 1.02A , where T is total amount and A is restaurant bill.
