Billy went to the barber. He got a haircut for $22. 95 and bought some hair gel for $11. 79. He gave the barber $40 and told him to keep the change as a tip. How much did Billy leave as a tip?

Answer:

$5.26

Explanation:

22.95+11.79= 34.74

40.00-34.74=5.36

Subtract what he bought from the $40.


40- 22.95 - 11.79 = $5.26

Tip = $5.26
