a) $6
b) $9
c) $12
d) $15

Answer 1

To calculate the tip amount that Sherry receives, we multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage. In this case, the answer is option b i.e., $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the tip amount that Sherry receives, we can multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage. In this case, the bill amount is $60 and the tip percentage is 15%. To calculate the tip, we can use the formula:

Tip Amount = Bill Amount imes (Tip Percentage / 100)

Substituting the values, we have:

Tip Amount = $60 imes (15 / 100) = $9

Therefore, Sherry receives a tip of $9. So, the answer is option b) $9.
