Question

A restaurant requires customers to pay a 12% tip for the server. Your family spends

$85 on the meal.
a) How much money do you need to tip the server?
B) How much money will you spend in total?

Answer 1

a) $10.2

b) $95.2

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

To calculate the amount of the tip we have to multiply the cost of the meal (85) by the tip percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).

85 x (12/100) = $10.2

To calculate the total money spent we have to add the result to the cost of the meal.

85+10.2 =$95.2
