Hello there! :)

Answer:

Sammy left a tip of $1.34

Explanation:

Convert 15% into a decimal by dividing by 100%

15% ÷ 100% = 0.15

Multiply it to the meal cost

$8.95 × 0.15 = $1.3425

Rounding to the nearest cent, Sammy should leave a tip of $1.34.

I hope this helps you!

Have a wonderful day!

If you have any questions regarding my answer please let me know.
