Question

You might need: Calculator Christopher has breakfast at a cafe and the cost of his meal is $36.00. Because of the service, he wants to leave a 10% tip. What is his total bill including tip?

Answer 1

Cost of the meal = $36

tip = 10%

First, we have to calculate the tip amount by multiplying the cost of the meal (60) by the tip percentage in decimal form ( divided by 100):

36 x (10/100) = 36 x 0.1 = $3.6

Finally, add the tip amount to the cost of the meal:

36 +3.6 = $129.6
