Question

At a new Italian restaurant, you order a salad for $3.50 and baked ziti for $9.25. If you want to leave a 15% tip, how much money should you leave for the waiter as tip?

Answer 1

The total cost of the salad and baked ziti is $3.50 + $9.25 = $12.75

To calculate the tip, you need to multiply the total cost by the tip percentage (expressed as a decimal)

Tip = $12.75 x 0.15 = $1.91

So you should leave $1.91 as a tip for the waiter.
