Answer:

$3.61 cents

Explanation:

Given the following question:

15% of 3.12

To find the answer we use the formula to calculate percentages, then we add that answer to the initial bill.


(p* n)/(100)

(15*3.12)/(100) =15*3.12=46.8/100=0.468

=0.468

Round:

0.468

8 > 5

0.47

t=0.47

Now add:

3.14+0.47=3.61

=3.61

After leaving a 15% tip, the total amount you would pay is "$3.61 cents."

Hope this helps.
