Answer:

$13.95

Explanation:

Convert the 12% to an actual number that can be used in a calculator. For percents, this is done by dividing the percent (in this case 12%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "12%" becomes 12% / 100% = 0.12 in terms of a real mathematical number. Then you need to find out what 12% of your $116.29 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.12 by $116.29, or 0.12 x $116.29=$13.95.
