Question

Luci and her friends go out to lunch and receive a bill for their meals that reads $56.80. How much would the

entire lunch cost if they added a 19% tip to their bill rounded to the nearest cent? How much money would the

server make? Show your work using either a double number line and/or the percent equation.

Answer 1

$68 and $10.792

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The total bill received by them is $56.80

The total bill after adding 19% tip is

= Total bill + tip amount

= $56.80 + 19% of $56.80

=$56.80 + $10.792

= $67.592

= $68

The sever would make the amount i.e. equivalent to the tip amount i.e $10.792
