Question

The bill for the meal was $24.00. Dario left a tip of 16 2/3%. How much was the tip?

Answer 1

We have to calculate the tip.

It is the 16 2/3% of $24.

We start by converting 16 2/3% to decimals:

`(16+(2)/(3))\%\cdot(1)/(100\%)=(16.6667)/(100)=0.166667`

Now, we can calculate the tip by multiplicating this proportion by 24:

`\text{tip}=0.166667\cdot24=4`

Answer: the tip is $4.
