Question

Simon eats dinner at a restaurant. His meal costs x dollars. He pays for his meal, plus he pays a tip equal to 20% of the cost of his dinner.

Choose all the expressions that represent the total amount Simon pays, including the tip.
A. 20x
B. 0.2x
C. 1.2x
D. x (0.2x)
E. x+0.2x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:The expressions that represent the total amount Simon pays, including the tip, are:

C. 1.2x

E. x + 0.

C. 1.2x:

In this expression, 1.2x represents the original amount Simon pays without the tip. The number 1.2 represents 100% of the original amount, which is equivalent to x. So, adding the original amount and the tip (0.2x) gives us the total amount Simon pays.

E. x + 0.2x:

In this expression, x represents the original amount Simon pays without the tip. Adding the tip (0.2x) to the original amount gives us the total amount Simon pays.

So, both expressions C. 1.2x and E. x + 0.2x represent the total amount Simon pays, including the tip.
