Question

If the bill is $47.96 and you leave a 15% tip, what is the tip amount?​

Answer 1

Answer: $7.19

Explanation:

15/100 = 0.15

We only want the tip, not the total cost:

Do 0.15 * $47.96 to get about $7.19

Answer 2

7.19 is the tip

Explanation:

Take the amount of the bill and multiply by the tip percentage

47.96 * 15%

Change to decimal form

47.96 * .15

7.194

Round to 2 decimal places

7.19
