Question

Beth needs to add a 10% tip to her $12 meal. How much money does she need to add?

Answer 1

$1.20

Explanation:

TO find 10% of 12, we simply multiply 12 by 0.10, or 10%. Thus, Beth needs to pay an extra $1.20.

Answer 2

If you would like to know how much money Beth needs to add to her meal, you can calculate this using the following steps:

10% * $12 = 10/100 * 12 = 0.1 * 12 = $1.2

Now, you have to add $12 and $1.2:
$12 + $1.2 = $13.2

Result: Beth needs to add $1.2 (the whole meal will now cost $13.2).
