Answer:

The 15% tip is $3.90

Explanation:

To find 15% of $26, multiply .15 × 26

You get 3.9 that is $3.90. (If we aren't talking about dollars$, then sorry, but the numbers/math is the same)

If you're at the table and everyone's phone is dead (so no calculators), then find 10%:

10% of 26.00 is 2.60 (just move the decimal to the left one place)

Cut it in half to find 5%:

Half of 2.60 is 1.30

Add them together:



2.60 + 1.30 is 3.90

15% of 26 is 3.90
