Your family decided to go to a restaurant for lunch. The bill for lunch was $22.50. What steps would you take to find the amount of the tip you would pay. (assuming you want to leave a 20% tip) the options are...

A. Turn 20% into a decimal.
B. divide 22.50 and .20 to find the total paid.
C. multiply .20 by the total bill (22.50) to find the total tip owed.
D. subtract 22.50 from the tip amount. This would give me the amount owed at the restaurant.

Answer:

the answer is c

Explanation:

this is because the tip percent is 20, so to find the 20 percent mark of 22.50, you have to multiply .20(divide the percent by 10) by the original bill. this will give a tip of %4.5. the total cost will then be $27.
