Question

Lucia's family went to TGIF for dinner. Their bill was $65, and they want to leave a 15% tip. How much will their total be?

Answer 1

To calculate a 15% tip on Lucia's $65 dinner bill, convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the bill amount to get a tip of $9.75. Add the tip to the original bill for a total of $74.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating a Restaurant Bill with Tip

Lucia's family dined at TGIF where their dinner bill was $65. To calculate a 15% tip, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, which gives us 0.15. Multiply this decimal by the bill amount to find the tip:

• Tip = 0.15 × 65 = $9.75

To find the total bill amount, add the tip to the original bill:

• Total = Bill + Tip = $65 + $9.75 = $74.75

Therefore, Lucia's family will pay a total of $74.75, including the tip.
