Answer: $74.40

Explanation:

20% of 62 is 12.40

(62 * 0.20) In the calculator or when you're solving by hand, you would multiply the total * tip percentage specifically for this type of problem where you're adding the tip to the total.

After finding out what the 20% of the total is, add it to the total.

62 + 12.40 = 74.40

The Similey family paid $74.40

I hope this helps!
