Question

Josefina's meal at Sun Bistro cost $29.44, not including tip. If Josefina wants to leave a 21 % tip, how much should she pay?

Answer 1

$35.62

Explanation:

We must calculate 21% of 29.44 using this proportion

21: 100 = x : 29..44

x = (29.44 · 21)/100

x = 6.1824

Round to the nearest hundreds

$6.18

Now sum the cost and the tip

29.44 + 6.18 = $35.62
