Question

You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $63. If you want to leave an 18% tip, how much total money should you pay, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

`$74.3` is the total amount.

Explanation:

The first step in this problem is to figure out how much of a tip was left. To find that out, you need to multiply the percentage by the total of the meal.

`63 * .18 = 11.34`

We know that 11.34 was how much of a tip that was left,

To figure out the total amount that was spent, you would add the total amount and the tip.

`63 + 11.34 = 74.34`
