Question

The music boosters have their year-end banquet at a hotel that charges $750. The president of the boosters tips the banquet team 20%. What is the total amount spent?

Answer 1

$900

Explanation:

First we find the amount of the tip by finding 20% of $750.

20% of $750 = 20/100 × $750 = 0.2 × $750 = $150

Now we add the amount of the tip to the $750 charge to find the total charge.

$750 + $150 = $900
