Question

A. Sarah's bill at the restaurant was $12.81. She left a tip of 20%. What was the tip amount? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

B. What was the total bill? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The tip amount was: $2.56
The total bill was: $15.37

This is because 20% of $12.81 = $2.56, and 2.56+12.81 = 15.37.

Answer 2

A. 2.56 & B. 15.37

Explanation:

To find the tip, multiply 12.81 by 20% (12.81*0.20) to get 2.562. Rounded to the nearest hundredth is 2.56.

From there, to get the total bill, add the bill with the tip (12.81+2.56) to get your answer of 15.37.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your studies!
