Question

Katie went out for dinner with her friends and left a 17% tip. If B represents the bill, an expression that represents the total bill she will pay is 0.83b

Answer 1

1.17B

Explanation:

Katie and her friends will pay 17% of the bill, B.

Therefore, we have to add 17% of B to B to find how much they will pay:

17/100 * B = 0.17B

Therefore, the total bill will be:

Bill + tip

= B + 0.17B = 1.17B

The expression that represents the total bill they will pay is 1.17B
