Question

Becky tips her paper carrier 40%. If the paper costs $7.25 per week, how much does Becky pay per week?

Answer 1

Becky pays $10.4 per week

Cost per week: 7.25

TIp percentage: 40%

First, multiply the cost of the paper ($7.25) by the tip percentage in decimal form ( divided by 100) to obtain the tip amount:

7.25 (40/100) = 7.25 (0.4) = $2.9

Now, add the cost and the tip amount:

7.25+2.9 = $10.4
