Answer:

The answer rounded up is 40.94, and the answer rounded down is 40.93.

Explanation:

First, let's figure out the tip.

We first do 36.55 ÷ 100.

36.55 ÷ 100 = 0.3655

We next do 0.3655 x 12 to figure out the tip.

0.3655 x 12 = 4.386 (Rounded up to 4.39)

(Rounded down to 4.38)

Now we know the tip! Let's add that to the meal's cost to find out how much the bill costs!

36.55 + 4.39 = 40.94 (rounded up)

36.55 + 4.38 = 40.93 (rounded down)

The answer rounded up is 40.94, and the answer rounded down is 40.93.
