Answer 1

Tip amount: $6.49

Final amount of the bill: $38.92

Explanation:

We need to calculate the tip amount which is 20% of $32.43.

Then we will add the tip amount to $32.43.

To find a percent of a number, change the percent to a decimal by dividing the percent by 100 and multiply by the number.

20% of $32.43 =

= 0.2 * $32.43

= $6.486

We round off the tip amount to the nearest cent, $6.49

The tip amount is $6.49

To find the final amount of the bill, we add the tip amount to the bill amount.

$32.43 + $6.49 = $38.92
