Answer 1

To find the total cost of the dinner, add the cost of the meal and the tip. Now, add the cost of the meal and the tip to find the total cost of the dinner: $72 + $12.96 = $84.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost of the dinner, we need to add the cost of the meal and the tip.

The cost of the meal is $72. To find the tip, multiply the cost of the meal by the tip percentage.

The tip percentage is 18%, which can be written as a decimal as 0.18.

So, the tip amount is $72 * 0.18 = $12.96.

Now, add the cost of the meal and the tip to find the total cost of the dinner: $72 + $12.96 = $84.96.
