Answer:


25+(20\% * 25)

Explanation:

Given : A restaurant bill is $25, and a 20 percent tip should be given to the waiter.

To Find: which expression can be used to find the total amount that will be paid

Solution:

A restaurant bill is $25.

A 20 percent tip should be given to the waiter.

So, Tip =
20\% * 25

So, total amount that will be paid =
25+(20\% * 25)

=
25+((20)/(100) * 25)

=
25+5

=
30

Thus the total amount is $30

Hence the expression can be used to find the total amount that will be paid is
25+(20\% * 25)

The best expression would be:
Cost= 25 +0.2*25
