Question

Rebecca’s tab at a restaurant was $82.43. If she wants to leave a 15% tip how much money should she leave?

Answer 1

We must multiply the tab by the tip percentage to calculate the tip amount. In this case, we have:

`$$\text{tip amount} = 82.43 * 0.15$$`

Using a calculator, we can find that the tip amount is $12.36. We need to add the tip amount to the tab to find the total amount that Rebecca should leave. In this case, we have:

`$$\text{total amount} = 82.43 + 12.36$$`

Using a calculator, we can find that the total amount is $94.79. Therefore, Rebecca should leave $94.79 if she wants to leave a 15% tip.
