Question

The bill is $100.99. You want to leave a 20% tip. How much should the tip be?

Answer 1

$20.20

Explanation:

First Convert 20% into a decimal, by dividing it by 100

Percent = out of 100

20/100 = 0.2

Now, multiply the decimal (0.2) with the bill amount ($100.99):

0.2*100.99

$20.198 <== *remember, we are using money, so we round to the nearest cent (dime)

$20.20 <== how much tip you want to leave

How much you pay altogether:

(Bill + tip)

100.99 + 20.20

$121.19

Hope this helps!
