Question

Mrs. Trost and her family go out to dinner at Red Lobster.

Red Lobster in Lincoln closes its doors

Their bill was $55.75.

Mrs. Trost wants to leave an 18% tip. Remember to round to the nearest hundredth for money.

What is Mrs. Trost's total amount, including tip?

Answer 1

Tip is 10.04. The total is 65.79

Answer 2

First part: 10.035

Second part: 10.40

Third part: 65.785 or 65.80

( going by how you listed the problem )

Explanation:

First we would need to find out:

What is 18% of 55.75?

Which equals: 10.035

That is only step one of our problem ( there are three steps ) next we need to find out what is the total amount + the tip

Do simple math for the answer,

55.75 + 10.035 =

65.785

Last we need to use 10.035 and round it to the nearest hundreth which the following shows:

35 < 40

10.40.

Thus the answer to your problem is, 10.40, 65.785, and 10.035
