Question

Charissa is eating out with friends, and it is her turn to pay the gratuity. The bill for the food is $26.50. If she plans to tip at 20%, what should she pay if she doesn’t want to leave pennies on the table?

Answer 1

$31.80

Explanation:

To give a 20 percent tip, you need to find 20% of $26.50 and adding it to the amount. I multiplied 26.50 with 120, then I divided the product by 100.

Answer 2

$5.30

Explanation:

It's been said that the bill of the food is $26.50, and Charissa wants to tip at 20%.

20% of $26.50 =
`(20)/(100)` (26.50)

`(20)/(100)` (26.50) =
`(20)/(100)` (
`(2650)/(100)` )

`(20)/(100)` (26.50) =
`(2)/(100)` (265)

`(20)/(100)` (26.50) =
`(530)/(100)`

`(20)/(100)` (26.50) = 5.30
