Question

suppose you rent a limousine for a formal reception. The bill for the efenimg evening is $53.00. A tax of 6% will be added and you want to tip the chuaffer 20% for excellent driving. How much will you pay in total? (please show step by step)

Answer 1

$53 * .06 = $3.18
$53 * .2 = $10.60
Multiply by the percent (per cent, out of 100, 100 being the whole(1) ) so 6% would be .06 and 20% would be .2
add it all together and
$53 + $3.18 + $10.60 = $66.88

Answer 2

okay when doing percentages remember 6% of 100%

so in decimal form it looks like 0.06

0.06 x 53.00

then you would find 20% of 53.00 53.00 x .20

so then add 53 + .2(53) + .06(53) = 65.72
