Answer 1

Given:

Gertrude's bill at the restaurant was $72.81

She left a tip of 20%.

So, the tip is 20% of $72.81

20% = 20/100 = 0.2

We will calculate the tip as follows:

`0.2*72.81=14.562`

The total bill =

`14.562+72.81=87.372`

Rounding to the nearest hundredth

So, the answer will be Total bill = 87.37
