Answer:

$15.56

Explanation:

So start by doing a 10% tip, because you just move the decimal place over by 1, so $1.35, and then divide that by 2 to get 5% which is .68, and add them to get 2.03. You can get the same answer by multiplying 0.15 to 13.53. 13.53 + 2.03 is 15.56. Hope this helped and have an awesome day!
