The tip was $12 so the total amount would be $72.

You take 60 and multiply it by .2 , then you will get the 20% tip.

Answer:

The tip was $12. The total was $72.

Explanation:

First, we need to find how much the tip is. 20%=1/5 of the amount of money. If you divide 60 by 5, you get 12. This means that the tip was 12 dollars. If you add 60+12 you get 72 meaning that the total amount of money Angelica got was $72.
