Question

Janet's dinner costs $7.50. If she wants to leave a 10% tip, how much extra should she leave? I am really stumped on this, please give me correct answer

Answer 1

The 10% of 7.5 is .75
In total she will pay $8.25

Answer 2

$0.75.

Explanation:

We have been given that Janet's dinner costs $7.50. She wants to leave a 10% tip. We are asked to find the amount of tip.

The amount of tip will be equal to 10% of $7.50.

`\text{The amount of tip}=\$7.50* (10)/(100)`

`\text{The amount of tip}=(\$75)/(100)`

`\text{The amount of tip}=\$0.75`

Therefore, Janet should leave $0.75 extra for the tip.
