Question

Estimate a 15% tip for a $26.80 meal.

a) $4.05

b) $2.70

c) $31.05

d) $1.35

Answer 1

The answer is a.) $4.05

Answer 2

a) $4.05

Explanation:

Given,

The cost of the meal = $ 26.80,

Tip percentage = 15%,

Therefore, the amount of tip = 15% of the cost of the meal,

`(15* 26.80)/(100)`

`=(402)/(100)`

`=\$ 4.02`

Which is nearer to $ 4.05 from the given option.

Hence, option (a) would be correct.
