Question

Mr. Green just spent $11.95 on a
haircut. About how much should he
leave for a 15% tip?

Answer 1

1) you find the multiplier by dividing 15÷100=0.15

2) multiply the answer by 11.95 so 0.15x11.95=1.792 so the answer is $1.792 because it is 15% of $11.95

Answer 2

13.74

Explanation:

To determine the tip, take the total amount and multiply by the tip percentage

11.95 * .15

1.7925

Round to the nearest cent

1.79

Add this to the cost of the haircut

11.95+1.79

13.74
