Question

madeline took her friends out for dinner, the cost of the meals was $46.50 she left a 20% tip what was the total cost invluding the tip

Answer 1

First, we can find the 20% of 46.50 by multiplying the cost of the meal by the tip in decimal form:

`46.50(20\%)=46.50(0.20)=9.3`

we have that the tip was $9.3. Adding the cost of the meal and the tip we get:

`46.50+9.3=55.8`

therefore, the total cost including the tip is $55.8
