Answer:


\huge\boxed{ \$ \ 8.22}

Explanation:

Bill = $54.83

Tip = 15 % of 54.83

[% means out of 100, "of" means to "multiply"]

Tip:

= 15% of 54.83

= 15 / 100 * 54.83

= 0.15 * 54.83

= $ 8.22


\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

15% as a decimal is 0.15

Multiply the amount of the bill by the percentage:

54.83 x 0.15 = 8.22

The tip was $8.22
