Question

I ate dinner at my favorite restaurant, The Lazy Dog

Cafe. My bill came to $27.60 and I left a 20% tip. What
was the total I paid?
27

Answer 1

Answer: 33.12

20% of 27.60 is 5.52, so add 5.52 to 27.60.

Answer 2

The total that you paid was $33.12

Explanation:

The tip was 20% of 27.60 so,

20/100 = x/27.60 = (0.2)(27.60) = x

x = 5.52

hence the tip was $5.52

so the total that you paid was,

Total = bill + tip

Total = 27.6 + 5.52

Total = $33.12
