9. Lunch for Maya and her date totaled $27.52. What was the totalcost of the meal, including a 15% tip?10. Barb's base salary is $230 per week. Her commission is 5% of hersales. Her total sales this week were $5,000. What is her grosssalary?

Answer 1

Lunch total = $27.52

Tip percentage = 15%

Multiply the price of the lunch by the tip percentage in decimal form ( divided by 100)

27.52 x (15/100) = 27 x 0.15 = $4.05

Then, add the tip amount (4.05) to the original cost.

27.52+4.05 = $31.57
