Question

Anne got a haircut and wants to add a 17% tip to her bill. Write an expression to show the total amount Anne should pay. Use the variable h to represent the cost of the hair cut.

Answer 1

1.17h

Explanation:

The original cost of the haircut is h. Now, we know she is seeking to add a tip of 17%.

This mathematically means:

17/100 * h = 17h/100 = 0.17h

The total cost to be paid by Anne is thus 0.17h + h = 1.17h

The total amount to be paid by Anne is thus 1.17h
