Answer:

Wyatt should multiply with 1.19.

Explanation:

Forming the expression,

→ 1 + (19% of 1)

Now the required number is,

→ 1 + (19% of 1)

→ 1 + ((19/100) × 1)

→ 1 + (19/100)

→ 1 + 0.19 = 1.19

Hence, required number is 1.19.

Answer:

  • The cost of the meal should be multiplied by 1.19.

---------------------------------------

Let the cost of the meal be x.

Adding a tip of 19%:

  • x + 19% =
  • x + 0.19x =
  • x (1 + 0.19) =
  • 1.19x
