$58 × 0.18 = 10.44; $58 + $10.44 = 68.44; Thus, Arun's total bill is $68.44.

What do we know from the problem?:

*bill is $58

*wants to leave 80% tip

what's missing?:

what's the total bill

How to solve it?:

first we have to take care of the 80% so..

80/100= 0.80 or 0.8

step 2:

$58 x 0.8= $46.40

Step 3:

ADD the total bill which is $58 and add the $46.40

$58 + $46.40= $104.4

FINALLY: Arun's total bill was $104.40
