Question

One more: If Ashley intends to leave a 17% tip on a $47 meal, how much will her total bill be?

Answer 1

Ashley will have a total bill of $54.99

Explanation:

1. Convert percentages into fractions or decimals

For fraction: divide 17 by 100 and remove the % sign.

`[17]`%
`=(17)/(100)`

For decimal: move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the % sign.

`[17]`%
`=0.17`

2. Multiply the decimal or fraction by the quantity that equals 100%

100%=47

`17/100*47=0.17*47=7.99`

So hence, 17% is $7.99 of $47

3. Add the Tip with the Cost of the Meal (will give final answer)

to make things easier -

47+7=54

54+0.99=54.99

So hence, your answer is $54.99
