Answer:

Tip= $13

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Tip rate= 10% = 0.1

Bill= $132.17

First, we need to round the bill by the nearest ten dollars. In this case, we round to the lower tenth:

Bill= 132.17 = 130

Now, we can determine the tip:

Tip= bill*tip rate

Tip= 130*0.1

Tip= $13
