Question

2. Jasmine goes to Ben and Jerrys to get ice

cream. Her ice cream costs $8.00. She leaves a
20% tip. How much tip did she leave?

Answer 1

$1.60

Explanation:

First, convert the 20% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 20%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "20%" becomes 20% / 100% = 0.20

Second, you need to find out what 20% of your $8.00 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.20 by $8.00, or

0.20 x $8.00=$1.60.

So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $1.60.

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.60

Explanation:

20% of $8.00 is actually 0.20 x 8

0.20 x 8 = 1.60
