Answer:

Assuming you had a bill of $120 when you went to the restaurant with your three friends, the 20% tip would come out to $24.

What would be the tip?

First, assume an amount that the meal you ate the cost. Let's assume that amount is $120.

If the tip rate is 20%, it means that you need to find out what 20% of the bill of $120 is.

If you don't want to use a calculator, there are other ways you can calculate the tip.

An easy method would be to find 10% of the bill. To find 10%, all you have to do is to move the decimal point from right to left.

The decimal point in $120 is at the far right so the 10% amount would be:

= $12.0

Now that you have the 10% amount, remember that 20% is simply twice the amount of 10% so:

= 12 x 2

= $24

The total amount then becomes:

= 120 + 24

= $144

In conclusion, your tip amount would be $24.
