Answer:

$58.31

Explanation:

First, find the tip.

Multiply the tip rate by the check total.

tip = tip rate * check total

The tip rate is 19% and the total is $49.

tip = 19% * $49

Convert 19% to a decimal. Divide 19 by 100 or move the decimal place 2 spots to the left.

19/100=0.19 or 19.0 --> 1.9 --> 0.19

tip = 0.19 * $49

tip= $9.31

Next, find the total.

Add the tip to the check total.

total = tip + check total

The tip is $9.31 and the check total is $49.

total = $9.31 + $49

total= $58.31

The total with tip is $58.31
